Loganberry Books is excited to announce the launch of a new lecture series on the second Wednesday of the month that connects community members with distinguished individuals working in literature, popular culture and building a better Cleveland.  Some are panels, some are interviews, and one session per quarter will be a writing workshop designed to help local writers hone their craft and reach their audience.  Here’s the line-up so far:

Upcoming Discussions

Spectral Sunday with Justin Glanville and Christine Borne
Sunday, October 5, 1:00PM
Get into the Halloween spirit with this weekly reading series during the month of October! Each Sunday, we’ll take turns reading a ghost story aloud, then have an open discussion of its themes and how and why it scares us. Selections may range from the antiquarian chillers of M.R. James to the more contemporary thrills of Kelly Link. Moderated by Justin Glanville and Christine Borne. [classics club]

Perspectives on the Common Core
Wednesday, November 12, 7:00PM
The Common Core is the new standard in our schools, but what exactly does it mean for educators, librarians, writers, and students? Three diverse viewpoints come together to talk about the goals, the realities, and the challenges of creating exciting curriculum for elementary students. Mrs. Emily Ellington is a retired teacher from the Cleveland Public Schools (Harvey Rice) who was part of the beta test program for the Common Core. Olivia Geaghan is an upper school librarian at a private school (Hathaway Brown). Come listen, and participate, in this open discussion. Free.
