Don't Forget That Day, the New Book Written by Students at KIPP STRIVE Academy

Don't Forget That Day is the new book by students at our neighborhood charter school, KIPP STRIVE Academy. For three months the Wren's Nest staff and 17 volunteers worked 1-on-1 with 17 students to record an important family story.

Pick up your copy of Don't Forget That Day at the Decatur Book Festival!

The launch party (Saturday, September 4th, 11 am, at Several Dancers Core on the Decatur Square) will feature the young authors signing their books, cupcakes, and artisanal ice cream sandwiches. (We know how you feel about artisanal ice cream sandwiches.)

The Bard & The Muckraker Will Debut at the Decatur Book Festival

Two covers! Are you kidding me?!

Your copy of The Bard & The Muckraker awaits you this Labor Day Weekend at the Decatur Book Festival, the book festival to end all book festivals.

Akbar Imhotep Performs "The Wonderful Tar-Baby Story" in HD

Professor and documentarian Spenser Simrill, Jr. stopped by the other day to record Akbar in action. Take a gander:

That's Program Director Amelia on Camera 2.

I can't promise that every Saturday at 1 pm we'll have a documentarian filming in sweet, sweet HD, but I can promise you an amazing storytelling performance.

Georgia Traveler Visits the Wren's Nest

How familiar are you with Georgia Public Broadcasting's delightful program Georgia Traveler?

Well get ready to become a little bit better acquainted -- last year they visited our fair museum, caught Curtis telling stories, and spoke with Amelia, our fearless Program Director.

Georgia Traveler visits cool places all around the state, so if you're hungry for more, check out their last three seasons online.

Did you restore your museum called the Wren's Nest?

No? I don't blame you. It costs a lot of money to look this handsome.

Feel free to follow the progress of our $190,000 conservation project from the planning stages (March 2008) to the fancy-pants architectural photos (December 2009).

The before and after pictures are pretty remarkable. Go ahead and check 'em out. I'll wait.
