Hello all! I was recently approached to offer my services as a Story Time presenter as a biddable item for a local "Spring Fling" fundraiser. My first instinct was, "I can easily put together a bespoke story time for 5-10 kiddos. Offering literacy services as part of a fundraiser, what a great idea!" but then the reality of the logistics and the idea of individuals paying for a private library/librarian experience set in. Has anyone had a similar experience? What did you, your library or your friends group do? Any suggestions for a literacy focused, biddable experience or item? I don't feel comfortable offering "private" story time services outside of the library setting, and would never want to go to an individual's residence to host a story time. The idea of "selling" a story time or even allowing someone to pick a theme for a program that would be open to the public doesn't sit right (if it is even legal) . -- *Kaitlin Matesich* *Youth Services Coordinator* *Benzie Shores District Library* *630 Main St. Frankfort, MI* My Pronouns: She/Her - See www.mypronouns.org to learn more*.*
