The Lima Symphony Orchestra continues to spark an interest in music through its Symphony Storytime series.
The Lima Symphony Orchestra is kicking off a new season of its Symphony Storytime series. Musicians visit libraries in seven area counties to share books that are brought to life with music. On Tuesday they visited the Auglaize Public Library to showcase the violin, viola, or cello for their program "Tails and Tunes," which features stories involving animals. The symphony hopes that the storytimes will inspire the children to find music when they get older and get the benefits, like creativity and memory, that come with it.

Their final program of the year was at the historic Brumback Library in Van Wert Tuesday morning. The Symphony Storytime takes a group of musicians around to libraries in Allen County and the surrounding area to combine the love of reading and music into a program focused on a specific topic. In the final program of the year, the students were learning about opposites.
The series is normally held in local libraries. It pairs children's books with live performances of classical music from Lima orchestra musicians. To avoid crowds, the series has instead been filmed and published online for families to watch at home. A new storytime of the book "Ten Oni Drummers" was just posted this week. Renee Keller, the orchestra's Marketing & Education Coordinator, says by moving the series online, they can continue exposing their audience to different ways of education.
The Lima Symphony Orchestra invited families to stop by the Ada Public Library Tuesday morning for a program that was both educational and entertaining. This was the first stop in the 2019/2020 Symphony Storytime schedule. It's a program that introduces instruments to kids while reading stories that fit different themes. Tuesday's theme was "Drums for Everyone" - where percussionists showed off several types of drums and even let the kids in the audience try their hand at playing.
