Folktales
Each Tales and Travel Memories Program includes a destination-specific folktale. Participants can take turns reading aloud from the folktale. We currently offer 31 folktales for a variety of destinations with more in development. All folktales have been adapted by Kathleen Simonetta, a retired librarian. Each folktale, downloadable here in PDF form, includes space to add a Tales and Travel Memories logo with your library’s branding, a Creative Commons license, and Gail Borden Public Library logo.
