It’s April, which can only mean one thing for the Miami-Dade Public Library System…it’s time for the 13th annual International Art of Storytelling! There’s an exciting line up of events and programs for people of all ages – be sure to check out the fun! Did you know that each year, the Library System partners with a library from another country in an effort to share and explore each other’s customs and cultures? We are proud to announce that the 2013 international exchange partner is the Bibliotecas de la Comunidad de Madrid in Madrid, Spain.

ART EXHIBITION

As part of the 13th annual International Art of Storytelling program, the Miami-Dade Public Library System presents Once Upon a Time in Almeria by Mark Parascandola from April 26 - June 3, 2013 on the second floor exhibition space in the Main Library – 101 West Flagler Street.  The series of photographs captures the region of Almeria, Spain which was host to dozens of filmmakers who, during the 1960s and 1970s, constructed elaborate movie sets, invoking locations from the American Southwest to Bedouin Arabia. For more information about this and other exhibitions, visit Art at the Library.
