“Women of Mystery”, a new reading and discussion series,
kicks off at the Laramie County Library in August.
The first session takes place at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 10, in the library’s
Windflower Room. The opening session features a film (instead of a book)
examining the three authors featured in the series: Sue Grafton, Marcia
Muller and Sara Paretsky.
Elaine Hayes leads the sessions, which explore the role of women as
crime scene investigators — particularly those that relate to
social issues.
Registration is required and can be done by calling (307) 634-3561 or
by visiting the “Ask Here” desk on the library’s first
floor. The library is located at 2200 Pioneer Ave. in Cheyenne.
Additional information about this and other programs for adults can
be found at www.LCLSonline.org
The program is offered by the Wyoming Humanities Council and its Reading
Wyoming program, which provides reading and discussion series to nonprofit
organizations around the state and is funded by the National Endowment
for the Humanities.
