📚🎤Last night I had the pleasure of taking part in the Mystic & Noank Library’s Reading on Tap event at Milestone Restaurant. It was a wonderful evening supporting the library and celebrating the power of words and storytelling in our community.
For my reading, I chose a poem from When You See My Mother, Ask Her To Dance by Joan Baez. Her writing captures both reflection and resilience, and it felt like the perfect piece to share.
Thank you to the Mystic & Noank Library for hosting such a thoughtful and enjoyable event, and to everyone who came out to support the library and the important role it plays in our community.
