Invites You to Join
“Crossing Borders with Literature” Spring 2009
Conversations about great short stories
with Mercer County residents from diverse backgrounds.
Our project promotes deeper understanding across communities, using literature (specifically the short story) as an opportunity to stimulate dialogue in groups that cross urban/suburban boundaries within Mercer County. The beauty and richness of the literature are only matched by the excitement and lively dynamic created by the people in the group. People are touched and changed by the compelling experience of diverse individuals discussing both the literary stories and their own life stories.
We invite you to join one of the groups below. Please commit to at least 5 sessions if you can.
