are helping community members stay active. As local hubs, libraries are a great place to promote community health initiatives, often in partnership with government-sponsored programs. From aerobics to Zumba and everything in between, we hope you’ll find a
ton of ideas and inspiration to bring to your library’s fitness programming.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to create a roadmap that weaves together information and emotion. This webinar will provide an orientation to storytelling that centers cultural humility while leveraging storytelling dynamics, including how to practice and refine an impactful story with a
live audience. Participants will learn the techniques of story construction based on three classic narrative structures, with roots in folklore and
<a name="_Int_ObGcOX26"></a>narratology, and explore examples of data stories told by and about libraries.
