Libraries After Dark - Shared Reading Circle (Online event) Hosted by Brimbank Libraries

Experience the meaningful connection that reading aloud together invites while gaining ‘accidental’ self awareness. Revel in the story and the poem and, at the same time, share thoughts, memories, even, wild imaginings stimulated by the text. Let’s get playful with serious literature!

This is a series of four shared reading circles, and each one will showcase a different story and poem selected by me. There is no preparation required, except perhaps a questing spirit!
