About this Event

I CANNOT ENDURE
TO WASTE ANYTHING
SO PRECIOUS AS
AUTUMNAL SUNSHINE
BY STAYING
IN THE HOUSE.
NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE


Come out of your house and join us in a story! Experience an autumn afternoon through the "magic" of the People & Stories/ Gente y Cuentos method - making connections, transforming lives through literature - one short story at a time!

Hear a stunning, contemporary short story read aloud by Coordinator Teresa Leary during this free "Try It" session.

Talk about it. Change your mind. That's the mantra as we engage in deep conversation among people from all walks of life through reading together in community.

All are welcome from ages 14 to 94! Light refreshments provided! Space is limited.

Please send any questions prior to the event to [email protected]

"Try It" program series is funded with our thanks to

ABOUT PEOPLE & STORIES/ GENTE Y CUENTOS:

People & Stories/Gente y Cuentos (P&S/GyC) is dedicated to opening doors to literature for new audiences. Through oral readings and rigorous discussions of enduring short stories, we invite participants to find fresh understandings of themselves, of others, and of the world.

Our programs, offered in English and Spanish, use oral readings and structured dialogues of complex short stories to invite participants to connect their own varied life experiences to the universal themes found in great literature. Now in its 50th year, our program methodology effectively removes obstacles to the rewards of reading, especially for adults and young adults who identify as not having the skill, confidence, or motivation to read independently.

Our participants include men and women who are incarcerated or engaged in re-entry, residents in halfway houses and homeless shelters, recent immigrants, and low-income seniors in residential settings. By and large, the individuals we serve are reading at or below a 5th grade level, have not completed high-school, or are economically disadvantaged. A critical bridge, People & Stories / Gente y Cuentos provides hope and skills for moving forward.

People and Stories/Gente y Cuentos is located at 475 Wall Street, Princeton, NJ and is open Monday through Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. by appointment. Most programs are held at partner sites and other locations.
