Please join us for one more salon before the summer ends! Three out-of-state authors happened to contact the Athenaeum recently about doing readings while they are in town. Luckily they’re all available on Friday 9/12, so we can host a reading and give them each the opportunity to share a bit of their work and answer questions.
This salon will be indoors because sunset will be at 6:58 pm on 9/12.
