Ghost Stories
Humanities Kansas TALK Series Spring 2024
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
Discussion May 1 @ 6:00 p.m.
Books available at the Public Service Desk.
Hutchinson Public Library is hosting a three part book series March through May exploring “Ghost Stories.”
Ghost stories arouse the same emotion that draws us to mystery fiction: the desire to solve the problem of the past. People tell stories to try to explain what death is, where loved ones go, why the good suffer. The books in this series represent some classic explanations.
Members of the public are invited to attend these free programs, which will take place at the Hutchinson Public Library on the first Wednesday of the month at 6pm.
The series is sponsored by Humanities Kansas (HK), a nonprofit cultural organization, as part of its Talk About Literature in Kansas (TALK) program. HK is furnishing the books and discussion leaders for the Hutchinson Public Library TALK series. For more information about HK, visit www.humanitieskansas.org.
