Upcoming Programs and Events

Grownup Storytime

Kids love storytimes, but why should kids have all the fun?  Come relax at Grownup Storytime: listen to a couple of short readings — short stories, essays, articles, excerpts and more.  Then enjoy a chat about what you've heard.  Bring your lunch or your knitting, or just take a break from your busy day. 

Grownup Storytime returns to Sydenham for another six weeks, but with a slight change in time and location.  The first session will be on Monday, November 11 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., with selections relating to Remembrance Day.

Free to adults.  Drop in; no registration required.  Mondays November 11 through December 16, by the fireplace at Sydenham branch, 12:30 to 1:30 p.m.
