About

Storytime is a database of stories and folktales that is designed to help you find good stories to share orally, and to offer suggestions on how to perform them.

The database contains stories from the University of North Carolina's School of Information and Library Sciences Storytelling classes, and it will grow as Storytelling classes continue and Storytellers around the world submit stories.

Please select Search Stories to search the database by a database-wide keyword search.

Kids can access a random sampling of stories and videos by selecting For Kids.

Using the Submit Stories button, a Storyteller or student may submit information on a story of their choosing to be considered for inclusion in the database.
