ROOM: Craig B. Tate Conference Room
DESCRIPTION:In 1812, brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their firs
 t collection of German folktales, including stories such as Little Red Rid
 ing Hood, Hansel and Gretel, and Rumpelstiltskin. Passed down through gene
 rations by oral tradition, these tales were far more than children’s ent
 ertainment; they reflected the fears, beliefs, social values, and cautiona
 ry lessons of their time. Join reference librarian Flannery for an explora
 tion of the darker history behind the Brothers Grimm, the role of oral sto
 rytelling in German culture, and the enduring power of these tales to reve
 al what societies fear, value, and remember.
