Tell-a-Story
Celebrate National Library Week 2008 at PTC Ottenheimer Library
Tell-A-Story is an oral history project similar to StoryCorps®. Our goal is to help preserve history by recording the stories everyone has to tell. The process is simple. Ask someone you know to share their story with you. Then, contact the PTC Ottenheimer Library at (501) 812-2272 to schedule a recording session. To prepare for your session, the library will give you a handout describing the interview process, but feel free to let the stories flow. After your session you will be given a photograph of you with your storyteller, and a copy of the interview on CD. The interview will then be archived on the PTC Library's Web site.
Take this opportunity to preserve history today.
