As part of our Summer Challenge program and partnership with People and Stories, join us for a live, weekly reading of a short story by a DC Public Library staff member. Each week, we will select a different story for you to enjoy and reflect on.

On Fridays, we will share stories read out loud in English (1st, 2nd, and 3rd Fridays) and Spanish (4th Friday). We will host the readings on the Webex platform, and participants can join by an internet connection or by phone. Instructions are below and you can send an email to [email protected]. with further questions
