American Tales Intrigued Students in Mecklenburg-Pomerania

April 16-19, 2007. As part of its America@YourLibrary project, IRC Hamburg developed and arranged an educational program April 16 – 19 with writer/musician Matthew Graham for 3rd and 4th grade students at the City Libraries in Wismar and Schwerin, the Montessori School in Greifswald, and the Regional Library in Neubrandenburg. A cheerful crowd of 242 students and their teachers were fascinated by the lively audience participatory presentation that included the tall tales of “John Henry”, “Johnny Appleseed” and “Annie Flatboat Christmas,” as well as traditional songs. The teachers received preparatory material and the “About the USA” CD-ROM.
