Library Storytelling

Vermont Community Farm brings people together through a traveling series of storytelling events offered in partnership with public libraries across Vermont. At each gathering, community members share true, first-person stories from their lives—stories of humor, challenge, discovery, resilience, and everyday experiences.

Through mindful listening and shared stories, these gatherings create opportunities to build empathy, strengthen community connections, and foster a sense of belonging across generations and backgrounds.

Vermont Communtiy Farm firmly believes that community connection and shared experiences support emotional and social well-being, so whether you have a story to share or simply want to listen, you are welcome.

Join us at an upcoming event and experience the power of storytelling to connect, inspire, and bring communities together.

Upcoming Events

Unless otherwise noted, all events are Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 8:15 p.m.

Interested in sharing your story? We welcome community members of all ages and backgrounds. Storytellers share true, first-person experiences, generally lasting 5–7½ minutes.
