The Arrowhead Library System is pleased to present We Are All Storytellers with Author Margi Preus. These events are free and open to the public, and will travel to participating ALS libraries and host locations April 20 – May 9, 2026.
Join Minnesota Author Margi Preus for a dynamic and interactive presentation sure to inspire young writers. Kids Pre-K through 8th grade, and even grown-ups, will learn about writing and expand their writing skills through these free events. Attendees will learn the stories behind the stories, participate in a group storytelling activity, and gain plenty of writing tips. Margi’s visit will teach that we are all storytellers and we have a story to tell.
