“Talking in the Library” hopes to bring activity and attention to our wonderful library by hosting periodic events in a variety of formats (readings, artist discussions, live music, etc.). Please come on *Thursday October 11, from 4:30 – 5:30pm* and help make “Talking in the Library’s” inaugural event a successful one. It will feature two poets followed by an open “mic.” (See below flyer for bios)
