LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, PA. – Lincoln University will host the second of a five-part book reading and discussion series on Jewish literature on Sunday, October 22 at 3 p.m. in the Langston Hughes Memorial Library.
Funded in part by a Pennsylvania Humanities Council grant, the series explores the themes of estrangement and homecoming. Drexel University professor Dr. Emilie Passow will lead the discussion.
Participants may borrow the books from Lincoln’s on-campus library or from local partners, the Oxford and Avon-Grove Public Libraries. The Chester County Branch of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia is also a local partner. The “Let’s Talk About It: Jewish Literature” program was developed by the American Library Association and Nextbook, Inc., which selected Lincoln University to host the series.
The series is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Susan Pevar at 610-932-8300, ext. 3266.
