Any library in Southern Michigan interested in hosting Shamrocks & Shenanigans too and keep travel costs down?? It looks like a fun, family friendly event. Let me know, maybe they’d give us all deal!

Hi Leesa, Thank you so much for reaching out about Paul Strickland’s storytelling programs! My name is Kamryn, and I handle Paul’s bookings. I look forward to learning more about your interests in bringing one of Paul's programs to your library. Paul's programs suit all ages, depending on the event you're interested in. We can do a show for children, adults, or a mix of both! For Shamrocks & Shenanigans, we typically book programs at $499 (or $849 for two programs on the same day) plus travel (for your library: 323 miles × $0.70 = $226, for a total of $725 or $1075). However, we may have some really helpful routing options in March as we secure other bookings. We also offer the option that if you help us find other local libraries in your area to book, we’d love to give you some individual savings on the cost. As always, everything’s negotiable. Our goal is to bring these stories to as many communities as possible, and we’re always happy to try and work with your budget. If you have any dates in mind, let's discuss how we can bring Paul to the Otsego District Public Library. Hopeful we can bring some storytelling and laughter your way this coming year or sometime down the road!
