The event, which is free and open to the public, will start at 4:15 p.m. in Burling Library Lounge.

The spring writing contest winners will be announced after the reading.

Grinnell College welcomes the participation of people with disabilities. If you plan to attend this event and need accommodation, please contact Burling Library as soon as possible to make your request.

The College welcomes the presence of minors at all age-appropriate public events and for informal visits, with the understanding that a parent, legal guardian, or other responsible adult assumes full responsibility for their child’s safety and behavior during such visits or events. In these cases the College expects that an adult responsible for the visiting child takes measures to ensure the child’s safety and sees that the child complies with directions of College personnel. Grinnell College is not responsible for supervision of minors on campus.
This venue is equipped with an induction hearing loop system, which enables individuals with hearing aids set to T-Coil to hear the program.
