A READING BY LOCAL AUTHOR, ANNE BARNES Local author, Anne Barnes, has been invited by the Kiwanis Club of East Liberty to give a reading from her short stories at the Union Project cafe this Thursday, September 28th. Everyone is invited. We'll gather at 5:30 PM. The program begins at 5:45 PM. This program will give us an opportunity to enjoy one of the pleasures of childhood as we listen to Anne breathe life into her characters and transport us with them into familiar, yet provocative settings. Following her reading, Anne will be available for Q and A. She was recently published in the local literary Paper Street Press and will have copies available to purchase. Her short stories have been published or are forthcoming in several literary magazines, including The Distillery: New Voices of the South; Palo Alto Review; Paper Street Press; Whiskey Island Magazine (Cleveland State University Press); and Wisconsin Review. Anne has masters' degrees in both fine arts (Maryland Institute of Art) and social work (University of Maryland) and is an experienced clinical social worker and art teacher. She lives in Pittsburgh with her husband and their yellow lab, Gracie. Please join us this Thursday at the Union Station Cafe, on the corner of Stanton and N. Negley Avenues,for this stimulating program. In addition to providing regular programs at the Union Station Cafe, the Kiwanis Club of East Liberty sponsors a children's service club at Fulton Academy, has read to children at the Eastminster Childcare, and collects children's books and donates them to local organizations.
