What stories live within you? Many of us grew up hearing stories shared by parents, grandparents, and loved ones. These treasured memories, family traditions, and bits of family lore help us feel connected to who we are and where we come from. Yet as time passes, details can fade, leaving us wishing more had been captured and preserved. 

This workshop invites you to reflect on your experiences and discover simple, meaningful ways to record your personal and family stories. Whether you want to share memories with loved ones today or leave a lasting legacy for future generations, you'll explore practical approaches to preserving the stories that matter most. No writing experiences is needed. Your stories are valuable, and your writing is good enough!

Registration can be completed by contacting the Bloomington Public Library at 309.590.6168 or visiting the Help Desk at the library.
