Project Overview

The Vetted Programs were created by request from SELCO public library directors and intended to involve less library staff time dedicated to individual programming plans. Library staff expressed a desire for a simple, turnkey program approach that they could easily implement and manage for their communities. SELCO and the Vetting Committee maintain a catalog of performers on contract with SELCO to provide their services. WonderWeavers - Storytellers offer multiple programs to help attendees travel the world through stories, find and share stories, and make art props or play instruments to enact some exciting story-adventures.
