The community is encouraged to attend these free events. Each begins at 4:30 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of the month and features two authors reading from their work, as well as a local musician or band.

The first event of this series, on Tuesday, May 23, will feature readings by poet Kyle Dargan and poet, essayist, and translator Piotr Florczyk, as well as music from local singer and guitarist Fredy Granillo.
The second event, on Tuesday, June 27, will feature readings by fiction-writer Jen Michalski and the Literary House’s 2017 Cave Canem Fellow Laura Swearingen-Steadwell,plus music from Harp & Soul.
The final event of this series will be held on Tuesday, July 25. The featured readers will be announced soon.
