Step Into Stories Returns to County Public Library

The Children’s Department at the Ohio County Pub- lic Library in Wheeling has announced the return of its popular “Step Into Stories” series. These high quality, free programs are designed to bring litera- ture to life by drawing children into the world of lit- erature through exposure to puppets, storytellers, authors, musicians and other artists. The programs cover a variety of topics and feature many of the best presenters in the region.

The fall 2014 version of the series begins on Saturday, October 18 with a Children’s concert featuring singer-songwriter, Chip Richter, who serves up stories, songs, and smiles, “Family Style.” His fam- ily concerts feature fun, smart, high-energy music with a positive message that connects with both children and adults.

The series continues on Saturday November 15 with a puppet ver- sion of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow featuring Stevens Puppets. In this silly and non-scary version of ’s classic work of literature, children of all ages may follow the lanky schoolmaster, , as he sings, dances, and falls in love.

On Saturday, December 20, “Step Into Stories” will wel- come cartoonist J.D. Williamson, known for dazzling audi- ences with his super fast drawings and audience participa- tion.

“Step Into Stories” programs are offered at 11 am and 2 pm in order to provide families with more opportunities to attend. Please check the library’s web site at www.ohiocountylibrary.org or call the library at 304-232-0244 for more informa- tion.
