The Municipal Library of Palomares del Río hosted a new storytelling session organized by the #palomareshabitable Area. The storyteller Ana Belén Marchal led the tale and afterwards the children decorated a mask.

The Municipal Library of Palomares del Río has been the setting for a new day of storytelling and children's activities, an event driven by the #palomareshabitable Area of the municipality. The session brought together young and old around oral storytelling and creativity.

The writer and storyteller Ana Belén Marchal Gallardo was in charge of leading the activity. Her tale transported attendees to an imaginary forest where a fox, a hummingbird, and a chameleon discover that being different is something natural and valuable.

The children followed the story with an explorer's card in hand. The narration developed with humour, rhythm, and constant audience participation, according to the Town Hall of Palomares del Río.

At the end of the story, the afternoon continued with a creative workshop. Attendees decorated their own masks inspired by the protagonists of the tale, a hands-on activity that extended the reading experience.

With this event, the #palomareshabitable Area reinforces its role as a meeting space for families, where reading, creativity, and oral storytelling become tools for sharing.

The initiative is part of the municipality's regular cultural programming, which uses the library as a meeting point for children's and family activities.

"Being different is not only natural but also valuable," is the idea that the tale conveyed to the little ones.

Families interested in participating in upcoming activities can check the programming of the Municipal Library of Palomares del Río and the municipal channels for dates and times.
