Prime Time/Golden Meadow Branch

Program Overview

A storyteller reads beautifully
illustrated, award-winning children's books that consist of culturally
diverse stories from around the world spanning fairy tales, folk tales,
fables, historical accounts, and other narrations of real-life
circumstances that are familiar to adults and children alike. The
discussion leader, or scholar, then guides the group to personally
connect with literature and think beyond shallow considerations of who,
what, when, and where by applying the Socratic method of open-ended
questioning. The program demonstrates how literature can enrich one's
life, models strategies for continued family bonding through literature,
and provides families critical information on library resources for
continued reading once the program.
