Dog Ears Bookstore is once again offering a free program for senior citizens. Those 55 and older are invited to participate in the Around The World & Back Home Again Literary & Art Program that explores different countries around the world and their authors, artists and culture as well as local authors, poets and artists.
On Wednesday, Sept. 21 from 5:30 to 8 p.m., participants will explore Finland! A literary instructor will explore the works of Finnish author Tove Jansson and the poetry of Anni Sinnemaki. Various works from the authors will be read, discussed and reflected upon.
Following the literary discussion, a local artist will guide participants in making their own Northern Lights themed painting.
The program is limited to 15 participants and is completely free for senior citizens. All class materials are provided. In addition, a book of the highlighted author’s work will be raffled off among those in attendance.
Dog Ears Bookstore is located at 688 Abbott Road, Buffalo. Street parking is available along Abbott Road and on surrounding side streets. The café will be open for food and beverage purchases.
