Our theme this October has a literary theme with a twist, we’re talking about the women of Folklore. You can learn more in our podcasts, book club selection, and film club selection.
Folklore is mostly oral traditions that are wrapped up in beliefs, culture, and community. They can be spooky (especially this time of year) or they can be inspirational or cover every shade in between.
