March Mildness
Keep Calm and Carry a Good Book.
Around here, March and mud season go hand in hand. If you're going to be stuck at home when the roads are so mushy and full of ruts you could lose your Outback in them, you'd better be stocked up on some good reading! We've got some great new fiction and non-fiction titles, cookbooks for chilly days that beg for a batch of cookies or a comforting bowl of soup, plus a good supply of gardening books for those of you itching to get your hands in the dirt as soon as possible. Come on in and we'll help you find just what you need to get you through till spring.

Poetry Round Robin with Headliner Susan Sanders

Following their reading, we will open up the floor to the audience. This open reading will be done “round robin” style, where each person will have a chance to read one poem. If time allows, we’ll keep going around the circle and everyone will get a second (maybe even a third) chance to read.
