'Book-to-Action: Oral History' project wraps up April 30

LAKEPORT, Calif. – “The Book-to-Action: Oral History” project will hold a wrap party on Saturday, April 30.

The event will begin at 2 p.m. at the Lakeport branch of the Lake County Library, located at 1425 N. High St.

The public is invited to attend as participants discuss their experiences with the project and their plans to continue conducting oral history. Refreshments will be provided.

All during April the Book-to-Action: Oral History project of the Lake County Library and the Lake County Museums has hosted book discussions and training sessions to teach people how to conduct oral history interviews.

Volunteers have begun creating their own independent oral history projects and are recording interviews.

The Book-to-Action program is a variation on the traditional library book group—participants have collectively read and discussed the book The Oral History Workshop and are putting their newfound knowledge into action by interviewing people who have stories to tell.

One goal of Book-to-Action is to give participants the tools they need to record the oral histories of their friends, family, and community, including stories about the 2015 fires.

Some participants are interviewing their relatives, friends and fellow tribal members, some are interviewing clients and others are meeting their subjects for the first time.

For more information call the Lakeport Library at 707-263-8817.
