McAlester News Capital & Democrat

McAlester News Capital & Democrat: "Their membership ranges from Austin, Texas, to Wichita, Kan., and many points in between and soon they'll be doing a program in McAlester.

Territory Tellers, Oklahoma's only statewide organization of story tellers, will host a free program at McAlester Public Library beginning at 2 p.m. Saturday. Before that, however, the organization will hold its monthly board meeting in one of the library's rooms.

'They do this to create interest in story telling,' said Anita Ross, children's librarian. 'They hold their board meetings at different libraries in the state and then give a program afterward.'

The library's children's department and the Friends of McAlester Public Library are sponsoring the Saturday event. 'The Friends are going to take the board members out to lunch before the program,' Ross said. 'After that, we'll be ready to go.' "
