Mark Your Calendar!

Musikgarten for Children Taught by Angela DiPaolo
Starting September 15th and 17th from 9-11am. Limited spacing- Register early!

Musikgarten is the only program that offers curricula for newborns through group piano instruction. It is based on a keen understanding of how children learn, in both a general sense and, specifically, how they learn music. These classes are designed to nurture the child’s music aptitude by engaging children and their families in singing and movement activities which help attune the ear, refine the voice, and develop a rhythmic body through which music can be expressed. Additionally, instrumental activities are part of the program, ranging from playing simple rhythm instruments such as sticks and drums for babies and toddlers to playing keyboards for older children. Visit http://www.angelasmusik.com/ to find out more information. Limited spacing, call us at 919-554-9146 to register!

Writer's Group Forming This Fall

The Storyteller's Bookstore is looking for authors, experienced or aspiring, to join a writer's group. The proposed design of the group is for five or six members, meeting twice monthly, to read the work of other members and give feedback in a structured format. This will not be primarily a social group but will be for those serious about publishing. Looking mostly for writers of fiction, memoir or creative non-fiction.

Free Books!

By Virtue of our membership in the American Bookseller's Association, we have sent to us prepublication copies of many books, for us to see if we want to carry them. We can not sell these. But in return for your willingness to review them and guide us whether or not we should have them for sale when they do come out, we will share them with you. Come by the store and review what we have on the back room rack.

The Educator's Discount Card is Now Available !! 

Call us at 919-554-9146 to inquire about the Educator's Discount Card, offering teachers and administrators a 20% discount card. This is our way to acknowledge the value of those who teach our young people.

The card can be used for all books in the store or any books we can order for you. (Rare exceptions may apply). If you are a teacher or school administrator and we have not visited your school, call us at 919-554-9146 and we will put you and all those who work in your school on our Educator's Discount List.
