Call For Delmarva Stories
The Worcester County Library in conjunction with the Somerset County Library and The Delmarva Discovery Center will be documenting and recording the stories which make Delmarva so unique at the Delmarva Discovery Center on Wednesday, July 28 from 10 am to 4 pm. This event is a public interview day which will result in the compilation of many stories to be included in the Digital Storytelling Project conducted by the Worcester and Somerset County libraries. We are in search of native persons of Delmarva who can share the stories of their childhood and the memories of what our region was like before time and technology changed the way we live today.
If you or a relative or friend can contribute to our goal, please join us on July 28 at the Delmarva Discovery Center located at 2 Market Street, Pocomoke City, Maryland, 21851. Please bring any documents or photographs pertinent to your stories. The Digital Storytelling Project was made possible through a grant from the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore.
