Last Sunday each Month

Sunday, August 28
5:00pm - 7:00pm

It's almost time for the August incarnation of the Taproom Reading Series. This month we are featuring a Lawrence Literary Sampler. As usual, we will get things started with a open mic session; for this reading, bring your best heat-themed poetry. Then we will move on to our featured readers, all of whom will be responding to the prompt of the month: Heat. So, join us for a celebration ...of the Lawrence writing community and the end of summer.
