Events › Short Story Social

Love the idea of a book club but don’t have time for a whole novel? Join our Short Story Social, a relaxed "book club" for short-story fans and busy readers.

We meet virtually on the fourth Thursday of each month to discuss one or two contemporary short stories (no more than 40 pages total). Participate from anywhere—jump in late or leave early if needed!

Registration is required to receive the Zoom meeting link.
