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 a busy day.

Grownup Storytime continues for another two weeks: Mondays from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., February 10 through 24 (except Family Day on February 17), by the fireplace at Sydenham branch.
