Phoenixville Public Library hosts 2 online programs in April
PHOENIXVILLE » While it remains closed during the current coronavirus outbrea, the Phoenixville Public Library is planning two upcoming online programs for area residents.
Phoenixville Public Library will host an online book discussion for Longwood Gardens’ Community Read program on Thursday, April 16, at 7 p.m. This year Phoenixville Public Library joins other local libraries and community partners for the seventh year of the Longwood Gardens’ Community Read — a program designed to encourage reading for pleasure and start a conversation.
A tale of first contact, Sue Burke’s debut science fiction novel “Semiosis” follows a group of colonists forced to land on a planet they aren’t prepared for, where plants are the dominant life forms and humans are their pawns. Semiosis is a generation-spanning sci-fi tale, told through the lens of multiple perspectives across the first 107 years of settlement.
This event is free and open to the public, and will be held online via Zoom. Registration is required on the Adult Events Calendar at www. phoenixvillelibrary.org to receive an invitation to the discussion.
