Former storyteller to share story line of her second book

CHAMPAIGN – Janice Harrington once made a name for herself as a storyteller, something she's given up to devote herself full time to writing and teaching. And she's been quite successful, having won a number of major awards for her children's books and poetry.

Now Harrington, an assistant professor in the graduate program of the Creative Writing Program at the University of Illinois, will briefly return to storytelling at 9:45 a.m. and 10:30 a.m Wednesday at the Champaign Public Library, 200 W. Green St.
