Join us for the 11h Annual Menlo Park Storytelling Festival, featuring nine free events between September 27 and November 21.
This year’s celebration of the ancient living art introduces two tellers new to the city library’s “stage.” Kenyan-born Clara Kamunde will be the inaugural performer on September 27, and Hana Baba (a name familiar to many locals for her award-winning journalism for KALW radio) will share folktales from Sudan on October 18.
