Abstract
The value of Once Upon a Time in the Academic Library: Storytelling Skills for Librarians lies in its practical suggestions to improve the student’s experience with and knowledge of the library and their information literacy skills through the use of stories. The idea that librarians can use stories to teach information literacy, promote their services and collections, and make connections with students is not new. The book’s value lies in the practical suggestions for doing so.
