Literature

=New Yorker Discussion Groups=

Members interested in literature meet periodically to discuss short stories, non-fiction, and poetry from recent New Yorker magazines. To ensure good discussions, groups are limited to eight members plus the leader. If more than eight members are interested, we will try to open more groups.

To participate you need to have access to the contents of The New Yorker magazine. Issues can be read or checked out at these branches of the Santa Cruz Public Library: Aptos, Boulder Creek, Branciforte, Scotts Valley, Central, Live Oak, Capitola.

Open/closed status subject to change.

New Yorker Discussion Group (Santa Cruz I)
There are openings in this group! Please contact Peggy Williams below.

Group members are interested in reading literature as well as in analyzing the techniques that authors and poets use to communicate their ideas. Our discussions of poetry, short stories, and occasional essays related to literature also shed light on our differing viewpoints and how those viewpoints have been shaped by our life experiences.

The group meets monthly at 2 p.m. on the 3rd Wednesday of the month from September through June.
