Posted Monday, December 12, 2011 by Kaye Byrnes, Library Vendor

Kaye Byrnes Storytelling has toured libraries throughout Florida, taking part in the statewide summer reading program since 1997.   This summer, Kaye will delight your young patrons with stories that nurture a love for reading, sharing stories and characters that can be found on your shelves and taken home. Dream Big, Read offers endless possibilities for stories that engage, educate and entertain.

Don't delay as my summer calendar will fill quickly with libraries and camps. Super System Discounts are available for multiple programs within the same area, so let's coordinate amongst your branches, save everyone some money and share stories with children throughout the county.   You can find me on the web at www.kayebyrnes.com or contact me at kaye@kayebyrnes.com

Look forward to hearing from you ... in the meantime, happy holidays and may 2012 bring better times to our public libraries!  Many thanks to all of you who dedicate yourselves to what you do in spite of such challenging circumstances.
