Grownup Storytime (Online)
Grownup Storytime is back, but now in digital form until our branches reopen. Relax at home and listen to a couple of short readings -- short 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., July 6 through August 17 (except the August 3 Civic Holiday). Register now to receive the Zoom link.
