Story Time

Remember the warm, lovely feelings of being read to as a child? For many, it is still a delightful experience. Join us as three of our well-loved literature presenters (Leslie Babcox, Paula Friedman and Shirley Minga) each read a few of their favorite short stories to you. Some of the stories will be humorous, some will intrigue you and some will surprise you. Each presenter will provide a little background on the author and facilitate a few minutes of discussion. Members will be made aware of the selections to be read prior to class and will be invited to participate in the discussion or share a story of their own.
