The Power of Stories
Create a project, plan, or idea that captures the power of stories for librarians, patrons, and/or communities. Your brief may be designed to introduce a storytelling-inspired proposal to your library director or admin team. Note: for this assignment, please be creative and consider the DOK library in Delft’s mantra: “Keep stories, make stories, share stories.” The Director’s Brief is ripe with opportunities–be creative and have fun!
