Profile Information
- About Me:
- I am a librarian and a storyteller. I have been telling stories in public libraries and community events for over 30 years. Since 2000, I have been "Miss Pockets" not just "Miss Donna" as I told stories in outreach programs and library programs.
I am thrilled to be Emilee Seaman's favorite librarian. I am so proud of her for not only being a KYSS torchbearer but for placing at the NYSS in 2008.
I am honored to be President of the Kentucky Storytelling Association for 2008-9. Please visit www.kystory.org to find out more about KSA.

2009 Update: Smoky Mountain Storytelling Festival and NYSS were great.
Emilee Seaman is now National Torchbearer High School division of NYSS.
She did a wonderful job with her own story Hidden Keys and her best performance ever on June 6th.
Andy Offutt Irwin, Lloyd Arneach, Doug Elliott and Donald Davis were just a
few of the awesome performers that wonderful first weekend in June when
I turned 56.
Followed that with a week of work at Green River Correctional Complex, medium security male prison, where I am the librarian.
Then went to Washington DC for the 100th Special Libraries Association conference.
Another inspiring and marvelous event. Colin Powell as the keynote speaker; Library of Congress as the capstone! What a June!

Stories of America's heroes
I am excited to be telling several times this summer stories of American Patriots. There seems to be a lot of need for stories that celebrate America; that teach and encourage public service, good deeds and perserverance. Our country has a wonderful history of people who though not perfect, helped build a nation that is strong and true and is still regardless of the current press evaluation - the leader of the free world and the hope of all the others.

The good news is that I've rejoined the BoroTellers, Murfreesboro's Storytelling Guild. I told with them for Uncle Dave Macon Days in July and then got to attend a meeting this past Friday. If everything works out, I'll be telling local ghost stories the week before Halloween with them too.
Speaking of upcoming events, our SLA chapter is thinking about collaborating with the TN Library Association for a presentation in Memphis. If we were looking for a special guest speaker to talk about Marketing in special libraries, would you be interested and available during St. Patrick's Day 2010?

And welcome to PS. This has now become and international storyteller community. There are wonderful groups, forums, discussion, tellers have audio and video on their pages and you can too. Check the groups, Marketing, Power of Story, Biblical Storytelling, and so many others. This is a place where you can talk learn and teach and it is a place of real inclusion. Something I know you hope to strive for with the KSA during your year as President.
Anyway, welcome
Buck
