Alicia Eyer’s animated storytelling awakens the learning spirit of kids every week at Trussville Public Library.
After attaining her master’s degree in elementary education and working at several libraries in Birmingham, Eyer settled at TPL as the resident storyteller and youth services librarian.
During Thursday storytime, Eyer focuses on “telling stories, not just reading them.” To accommodate both babies and toddlers, she uses engaging elements like puppets, songs, crafts and hand motions.
During her six years at the library, Eyer has seen children grow up through her storytime.
“It’s a wonderful feeling to know I’ve made an impression,” she said.
