CultureALL: Open Book with Darcy Maulsby & Seso Marentes
Sunday, October 11 from 2 - 3 PM
You can’t judge a book by its cover. The same is true of people.
At an Open Book program, "Books" are our neighbors who share their personal experiences and defining moments. "Readers" are people who are interested in hearing stories that are real life changing. They engage with each other through small group conversation.
Please join us for the first of three planned Open Book programs. This program is made possible through a Greene County Community Foundation grant and the Greene County Librarians Association with support through Humanities Iowa.
Where: Grand Junction Public Library (106 Main St E, Grand Junction, IA 50107)
