Short Attention Span Literary Club

January 8, 2020 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

A “book club” for those of us with short attention spans! We meet every couple of months and discuss short stories that have a connection to our exhibits and collections. All are welcome!

For this special January edition of the club, we’ll meet at The Mark Twain House and Museum to take a tour of the house and talk about his short story, “The Facts Concerning the Recent Carnival of Crime in Connecticut”, available free online here.

Pre-registration is required for this meeting. Please email [email protected] or call 860-236-5621 ext. 238 to let us know you’re coming.

Free for CMCH members, $8 for non-members.  Coffee and treats will be provided.

Questions? Contact Natalie Belanger, Adult Programs Manager, at [email protected].
