(In-Person) Arts & The Park 2022: Mother’s Day Storyfest
May 8 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm CDT
As part of the 2022 Arts & The Park festival, the library is hosting a “Mother’s Day Storyfest” event.
Join us after your Mother’s Day lunch for dessert, and more importantly, to share and listen to each other’s stories about the moms, grandmother, great-grandmothers, and other motherly figures that have been so impactful to your life.
We will also take a look at some published stories about Mothers, talk about why Mothers have been disproportionately neglected in English literature, and be encouraged to keep the stories of our Mothers alive through oral history projects, memoirs, writing and publication.
The host/facilitator of this interactive session is Jerry Butler, author of Mothers, Memories and Birds. His book is a historical narrative of five successive generations of Mothers who gave birth to their children in the South.
Day & Time: Sunday, May 8, 2pm – 4pm
Materials Fee: None
Instructor: Jerry Butler, author of Mothers, Memories and Birds
Age: Adult
