Girl on BirdYou know the story of Rumplestilskin, but do you know about his daughter? You've probably heard fables that teach you a lesson, but what about those stories to which you shouldn't pay any attention? And if you've only heard the pig's side of the "Three Little Pigs," you're missing half the story.

Come listen as Miss Patty tells fairy tales and fables with a twist!

 Tomatoland Do you ever wonder why you can’t find a flavorful tomato in the grocery store, or why they are hard enough to substitute for a baseball? Next time you are in the library, ask for a copy of Tomatoland: How Modern Industrial Agriculture Destroyed Our Most Alluring Fruit by Barry Estabrook.

Storyteller Janice Rosen tells the story of Kami and the Yaks by Andrea Stenn Stryer. Told out loud and in American Sign Language for the hearing impaired, this story follows Kami, a deaf Sherpa boy, and his family as they carve out a life for themselves guiding families up the mountain on yaks. When the yaks go missing one day, Kami sets out to find them and is confronted by storms and separation from his family. Kami, however, finds the courage to bring the yaks home.

For ages 5-12.

Statue of LibertyAmerica is a nation of immigrants, but Americans have long shown ambivalence toward those who seek a better life in our country. Emma Lazarus’ words, “Give me your tired, your poor,” have often been at odds with how the “tired and poor” have been treated upon arrival. We seem to go through periods of tolerance and intolerance, sometimes related to economic conditions, and other times because there is a perception that there are too many people coming from a single place, or they’re “taking over” and tarnishing what it is to be an American.

Little Green Dresses Book Cover During college, I once pulled an old nightgown out of a friend’s Goodwill bag and remade it into a blouse that I wore for years.  I never failed to be complimented on it – it was pretty and at the time, quite unusual.
