– Enjoy a fun-filled day of free activities for the entire family! –

(MIAMI, FEBRUARY 25, 2013) – The community is invited to the Homestead Branch Library on Saturday, March 30 at 10:30 a.m. for a free day of storytelling, face painting, arts & crafts and much more! This special ‘mini-festival’ gives residents a taste of what’s in store during the Library System’s 13th annual International Art of Storytelling Family Festival which will be held on Saturday April 27 at 10 a.m. at the Main Library in downtown Miami. Over the last 12 years, the Library System has partnered with libraries from around the world as a way to explore ways in which those libraries use storytelling as a literacy tool. This year’s international exchange partner is the Bibliotecas de la Comunidad de Madrid in Madrid, Spain. In their honor, the festival will include a Spanish guitar performance, a Flamenco demonstration by Baila Flamenco Dance company, and lots of multi-cultural stories!
