The Reading Series in 2020-2021

 Hello everyone!

Thanks for your support and interest of the Reading Series. Given the difficulties in hosting public events these days, we have decided to put our series on pause for a while. We are waiting to see what might or might not be possible for us to do as time goes on. Stay tuned! And stay well.

We're thrilled to welcome Alicia Elliott to cap off our Winter term readings!

The opening act will be Joanne Tiotangco Magbitang.
