Program Description

Event Details

Don't have time to read a novel? Try short stories! Every month we will read from a selection of short stories and then briefly discuss them. Each story takes about five minutes to read.  We'll choose the story that they want to read at the beginning of the discussion group, and we'll go from there.  The stories for February are about love (romance, jilting, familial love, etc.).
