Grownup Storytime is back, still in digital form until in-person programming resumes. Relax at home and listen to a couple of short readings – stories, essays, articles, excerpts and more. Sit down with your lunch or your knitting, or just take a break from your busy day. Why should kids have all the fun?
Mondays from 12 to 1 p.m., Sept 14 through Oct 19 (EXCEPT for Oct 12, due to Thanksgiving). Register now to receive the Zoom link.
