Lincoln University of Pennsylvania has received a Pennsylvania Humanities Council grant to host a reading and discussion group in the Langston Hughes Memorial Library. The series is free of charge and open to the public. The next session is scheduled for Sunday, October 22, from 3-5 PM.

The reading and discussion series is part of a program called “Lets Talk About It: Jewish Literature,” developed by The American Library Association and Nextbook, Inc., which selected Lincoln University as a host site for the series.
