Share a Conversation, Share Your Story
The Lake Geneva Public Library and Lake Geneva Public Library Foundation are collaborating with StoryCorps, a national oral history organization to record and preserve the stories of our community.
As part of the StoryCorps model, you are invited to record a 40-minute audio-only conversation with a friend or family member about the questions that matter to you, such as:
What are some lessons you’ve learned in life?
What are you most proud of?
How would you like to be remembered?
At the end of your conversation, you’ll receive a free recording as a keepsake or as a gift to share with family and friends. You will also have the option to share a copy with the Lake Geneva Public Library, StoryCorps, and with the Library of Congress.
How do I participate?
Participation is free and open to all.

What should I expect at a StoryCorps conversation?
A trained facilitator will contact participants to set up the recording date, meet them at the decided location, go over the paperwork, and help both conversation partners settle in and get comfortable.
Participants will find a compassionate, respectful environment in which to share their stories.
Participants will have up to 40 minutes to record a conversation.
Participants can choose their conversation partner and what they would like to talk about.
The recording is audio only. No video will be taken.
Participants decide whether to share their recording or keep it private.
