ABOUT THE EVENT
How did I get here? What am I a part of? Phoenixville Public Library will host a free online presentation, “The Stories That Formed Us”, on Thursday, June 18 at 7:00 PM. Lowell Gustafson will be the speaker. Our memories of the past and stories of times before ourselves form us into who we are now. There are great story tellers from many times and cultures who make us who we are today. These are often recorded in writing as well as art and architecture. And then we have learned how to read much older stories told to us by light, stones, bones, and blood. These stories too tell us how we got here, what we are a part of, and challenge us to be as creative as nature has been. This presentation has been created especially for Phoenixville Public Library, one of those time machines that can transport us to the past to learn how the past shaped us.
