A Proud Affiliate of the Aging Forward Alliance

Description

The Wittliff Collections at Texas State University is home to an extraordinary collection of rare and unique treasures reflecting the works of writers, photographers, musicians, filmmakers, and other artists.

 

Each session of the Wittliff Book+ Club will have two segments: first, Wittliff staff will showcase archival material related to the session's book; second, participants will discuss the book. The Chat function in Zoom allows our facilitator to pose questions for consideration while participants can ask questions and post comments throughout the session. (Email lifelonglearningsm@gmail.com if you have questions about using Chat.)

 

Even if you don’t finish reading the book, join us for a lively discussion of the Austin live music scene… you will enjoy the sharing and conversations.
