Notes de l'éditeur
- The title, Your Story @ your library, reflects the goal of adding your personal story to our community’s historical archives. This campaign is modeled on the StoryCorps project: “Extraordinary stories from everyday people.” I first became familiar with this program after hearing select interviews aired weekly on National Public Radio’s “Morning Edition.” I’ve been moved and captivated by these shared stories of ordinary people and their experiences. Sponsored by NPR and the American Folklore Center of the Library of Congress, “StoryCorps is a national project to instruct and inspire Americans to record one another's stories in sound” (StoryCorps, 2006). The StoryCorps program is designed to bring together two people: parent and child, friends, partners, neighbors. Facilitators assist the two participants in recording a 40-minute interview at the StoryCorps booth. Participants receive a CD of their recorded interview, and with their permission, the recording is added to the StoryCorps Archive at the American Folklore Center at the Library of Congress. Unfortunately, there is no StoryCorps booth in our area, nor has one of the two sponsored MobileBooths yet visited our community. However, my plan is to utilize the StoryCorps project as an @ your library campaign, bringing together two people to record their personal story and to provide them with a recording of their conversation and, with their permission, to add their story to our public library collection. Dave Isay, the founder of StoryCorps, said "I suspect that libraries and libraries are going to end up playing a huge role in bringing StoryCorps to the nation. It’s our intention that everybody in the country has access to this and that everybody knows about it. I believe the best way to do that is through the library" (Kniffel, 2005, p. 43). Kniffel, L.
