River Reads is a program for all ages to escape into creative commons stories and fairy tales; both new and old, but mostly old, and at times macabre, or silly, or even perhaps a little confusing as written in old english and the host fumbles words, and then there’s stories that have not aged well. So if you enjoy a weird tale, join us.
