Adults interested in literature, philosophy, and thoughtful discussion can take part in “As the Pages Turn” Community Reading Circle at San Marcos Public Library.

The reading selection for this series is Charles Chesnutt’s “The Marrow of Tradition.” Participants should plan to attend most of the nine sessions, complete short reading and writing assignments, and engage in conversations with people from a variety of backgrounds. All reading and writing materials will be provided.

Sessions are held Mondays at 2 pm on October 19 and 26; November 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30; and December 7 and 14, 2026. The program is free and intended for adults.
