National Storyteller of the Year and Penn State alumnus Robin Moore will present “Ice Age People of Prehistoric Pennsylvania” at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at Schlow Centre Region Library.
Moore will lead listeners as they travel back in time to the end of the last great Ice Age, when the earliest people hunted caribou and mastodon and struggled to survive in a bitterly cold, unforgiving landscape.
This interpretive history program combines storytelling, primitive learning skills and natural history in a new approach to understanding the lives of the earliest inhabitants of our region.
Moore grew up in the mountains of Central Pennsylvania and served as a combat soldier in Vietnam. He graduated from Penn State with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and worked as a newspaper reporter and magazine editor before becoming a full-time children’s book author and traveling storyteller. He also serves on the faculty of The Graduate Institute’s Oral Traditions and Writing Program in Bethany, Conn.
He was named National Storyteller of the Year and Author of the Year by the Pennsylvania School Librarians Association and has written more than a dozen award-winning books. He also has presented more than 5,000 storytelling programs at schools, libraries, conferences and festivals, and on radio and television.
