Program Description

Event Details

Come help us wrap up our Salina Reads month with a fun evening of song, poetry and storytelling on the theme of “Where We Live.” We will be joined by cowboy musician Don Wagner, cowboy poet Jerry Jones, and local community members with a story to tell.  

 

Share Your Story....

Do you have a story to share? We want to hear it! As part of the Salina Reads Finale event, we’re inviting community members to participate as storytellers. Selected stories will be presented in the Talk 20 format: 20 slides with pictures, 20 seconds per slide to tell your story.
Stories should connect to the theme, “Where We Live,” focusing on one or more of the following areas: The Environment, The People, Industry & Culture, or the History of Salina. Topics might include hobbies, projects, local history, or personal connections to Salina.
To apply, visit the Salina Reads page on our website to review the guidelines and submit your application. Library staff will review all applications and select stories that best fit the Finale event. We aim to present a diverse collection of perspectives, showcasing the unique ways Salina impacts its residents and how they shape the community in return.
