Telling stories is a defining characteristic of being human. We are the only animals that tell each other stories and we do so across cultures and time periods. Libraries have long recognized the power of stories and sought to collect and circulate them in the form of books and other documents. The goal of Storytelling with Desert Island Discs is to utilize the format of the long-running BBC radio program and the techniques of DIY digital storytelling to build an oral history archive that preserves the life stories and musical journeys of the library’s community members.
