As part of the summer reading program with its theme, ‘Dream Big, Read’; the Fairmount Public Library hosted storyteller, Carmen Anne Forsee, who described various Native American tales and legends.

The final legend was that of the ‘Dream-catcher’ a Native American woven ring that, when hung in the sleeping area, catches the bad dreams in it’s web design and lets the good dreams go through the center opening.

The bad dreams are then burned away with the morning sun. After listening to the legend attendees Jalania Mulkey, Kailyn Nicholson, Jayda Mulkey, Courtney Griggs and Darby Bowen then created their own dream-catcher to take home.

Library Coordinator, Debra Martin, administered the program and furnished refreshments for all.
