We are going to read short story collections by individual authors. Our first selection is Baltimore author Laura Lippman’s 2022 collection -
Please join the discussion of Seasonal Work by Laura Lippman on Wednesday September 27 from 5-6:30pm in the Welch Medical Library, 2nd floor conference room (204).
