Storytelling at the Greenfield Public Library May 17
The Greenfield Public Library, with support from the Greenfield Cultural Council, is proud to be hosting a series of world-class story performances on Saturdays in May. Each performance will run from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Greenfield Public Library and is free and open to all.
On May 17, local musician and storyteller Brendan Taaffe will amuse and entertain with a mix of stories from around the world. A popular elementary school music teacher, Brendan began using story as a way to capture attention in the classroom, and quickly his relaxed and magical telling became the hit of the school. Illustrating the stories with expert music, Brendan is sure to capture the imagination.

What do you think?
In Hole in my Life, Jack’s family moves a lot. At the beginning of this book, Jack’s family moves to a place where he can’t go to school and he doesn’t speak the language. What do you think of that? What do you think of Jack’s parents? How do you think most kids would fare with no education, no supervision, and no roots?
Responses to Gantos' _Hole in my Life_
I like the books. I like it because it teaches you what not to do when you get older. I like the part where they talk about drugs. Drugs are bad for you. This book is interesting to me.
The book is about a boy who does drugs. His family moved to Puerto Rico. The title of the book is Hole in my Life. It tells him what not to do.

The book I'm reading is called Hole in my Life. In this book he is sentenced to jail and he talks to convicts who are in jail for life so they can try to change his life before he ends up like them and he has to go to school in an old building that used to be a jail.
I like this book because it tells a true story about somebody and I like true stories. Also I like this book because he starts his life as a screw up and changed that to be an inspiring writer.
