So sit back and relax while we read to you, with a brief intermission, and then finish off with an engaging discussion.

These short stories will be relatable for everyone as we all experience those moments in life where change is inevitable. Come join us Tuesday night to find out what the 2nd story will be! This hybrid program allows for virtual and in-person attendance. If you plan to attend in-person, we meet on the 5th floor of the library at the Virtual Travel Center.
