Reading Festival with Elizabeth Rosner
The 8th annual Reading Festival is a series of activities, booths, workshops, and presentations aimed at making reading fun for our local students and community.
This year’s activities center on bestselling novelist, poet, and essayist Elizabeth Rosner. Rosner will do a presentation and readings for her books, The Speed of Light and Gravity. Rosner’s work has appeared in NY Times Magazine, Elle, Forward, Hadassah Magazine, and several anthologies. Her book reviews appear frequently in the San Francisco Chronicle and the Los Angeles Review of Books.
Students and community members will also get a chance to learn about Rosner’s experiences as the daughter of Holocaust survivors and discuss topics such as World War II and genocide. Rosner will be at the Community Learning Center for readings Wednesday, February 25, 7 pm–8:30 pm and Thursday, February 26, 10 am–11:30 am. Info: 760-795-8702.
