It’s said that the shortest distance between people is a story.

A recent testimonial.

“It was a pleasure and a delight to have Bob and Liz host storytimes at the Rio Rancho Public Library during our 2025 Summer Reading Program. Liz’s Story Salsa was highly engaging, and she made the stories accessible and joyous in both English and Spanish. Her vivacity and professionalism sparked children’s imaginations and her warmth made everyone feel welcome. Bob is an incredible performer. He engaged his audience through movement, music, and call and response in a way that had his participants spellbound. Last year’s Summer Reading theme was Color Our World, and Liz and Bob did an amazing job illustrating how storytelling does just that.”
