Get to Know Poe during Mentor Reads

There's still time to join one of our Know Poe book talks.

As part of our Know Poe month in July, we’re holding a city-wide book club called Mentor Reads.

We’ve compiled some of Edgar Allan Poe’s most famous poems and short stories, including “The Raven,” “The Tell-Tale Heart” and more, into books that are available throughout Mentor and Mentor-on-the-Lake.

You can pick up copies at any Mentor Public Library branch.

Take a book. It’s free! You can then join us for a discussion on Poe and his work. We've already had talks at city parks, Melt and Yours Truly, but there are still a couple of meetings left.

If you’ve always been interested in joining a book club or just love reading, this is a great place to begin.

Discussions will be at:
Friday, July 25, 12 p.m. at the News Herald
Tuesday, July 29, 6:30p.m. at Mentor Public Library Main Branch
Wednesday, July 30, 6:30 p.m. at Mentor Public Library Main Branch
Thursday, July 31, 7 p.m. at Wildwood Cultural Center

You can come to one or all of them. We can’t wait to hear what you think.

See you soon!
