PORT ANGELES — Lindy MacLaine will illustrate her journey, “From Story Lover to Story Teller,” as the featured teller at the free Story Swap at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Carver Room of the Port Angeles Library.
The free presentation will be at the library at 2210 S. Peabody St.
MacLaine said she has asked: “How does one become a storyteller? Is it a gift one is born with, or can it be learned?”
Enthralled with stories from the get-go, MacLaine overcame her doubts about her ability to tell stories of her own and is now a published author of two middle-grade fantasy adventure novels, and this year’s District 32 world semi-finalist in the Toastmasters International Speech Contest.
After a short refreshment break, there will be an open mic session for anyone to step up and share a short tale.
The nonprofit Story People of Clallam County is dedicated to bringing all forms of live storytelling to the North Olympic Peninsula.
Information about public events and group membership is online at www.clallamstorypeople.org.
The Story People of Clallam County hosts story swaps the third Tuesday of each month, along with other public events: Story Slams at Sequim’s Olympic Theatre Arts, the annual Celtic Concert in March and a Liars’ Contest in June.
