I don't think there's room. Most storytelling is done by librarians themselves, or by people who already do storytelling. Here in Atlanta, there's a big storytelling legacy from the griot tradition, former slave traditions, etc. There are lots of festivals and locations in the area where old black and white people do storytelling. Joel Chandler Harris--the writer of the Uncle Remus Tales--lived here, and there's a placed called the Wren's Nest where lots of storytelling is done by people long steeped in the tradition.
