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: Mondays from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., January 13 through February 24 (except Family Day on February 17), by the fireplace at Sydenham branch.
