Northern Kentucky Storytelling Festival

The Northern Kentucky Storytelling Festival begins early this year at the Erlanger branch of the Kenton County library.

This year the Library and Fischer Homes are spreading the fun over three months with nationally-known comic storytellers. The series includes performances for families and kids of all ages and special performances on Friday nights just for adults. That's new; I believe in the past it's all been "family friendly," so the Kenton County Library is taking it up a notch this year.
