Community Corner

Story Hour for Grownups

The Woods Hole Public Library presents the next Story Hour

for Grownups on Sunday, December 15, at 3 pm in its Ratcliffe Room, which

houses its extensive theater and performing arts collection. Doors will open at

2:30, and audience members are urged to arrive early as space will be limited.

(The larger Community Room will be the site of the Library’s annual Holiday

Book Sale, beginning on December 7.)





 





            Story Hour

will open with a wintry crime story, featured in Best American Mystery Stories 2008. San Lyman, active all her life

in community theater, including Wood Hole’s Penzance Players, will read “Hothouse” by S. J. Rozan. In this tale

an escaped convict seeks shelter in the glass conservatory of the Bronx

Botanical Gardens during a snowstorm. His situation grows significantly more

complicated following an encounter with a horticulturist who is dealing with an

emergency caused by the storm.

            Muriel

Gould, featured in the Library’s recent winter newsletter, will read one of O.

Henry’s charming but lesser known short stories, “The Whirligig of Life.” An

elderly mountain couple come down to town to obtain a divorce from the Justice

of the Peace. The five dollar transaction takes on a life of its own and

concludes in typical O. Henry fashion with an outcome none of the three could

have anticipated at the outset.

readings, which will take place at 3 pm on Sunday, December 15, downstairs in

the Woods Hole Public Library’s Ratcliffe Room, are free and open to the

public. Doors will open at 2:30, offering attendees an opportunity to enjoy a

break from holiday shopping and stress.
