Scheherazade is calling you!

Or, to return from Rimsky-Korsakov to her Persian roots, Shahrazad: join the Literature community and friends as we explore her stories from The Arabian Nights during our sixth annual Mobile Reading Marathon.  Not a thousand and one nights, just one special day of animated reading (of selections) out loud.

Drop by, listen, join in, or not: no threats of execution for the tongue-tied.  Be among the intrepid few who stay from start to finish, or come for just a bit; all are welcome.  Books and good fellowship provided.  Costumes, props, and other imaginative contributions encouraged.  We may even have a lunchtime excursion into the world of music….
