Join Susan Speranza author of "Ice Out" at the Springfield Town Library on the second Tuesday of the month at 5:30 pm in The Flinn Room.
Susan was born in New York City and grew up on Long Island where they had an interesting and creative childhood. Once in college, they studied psychology and philosophy, but since "thinking" didn't translate into earning money or job security, Susan worked at a variety of different and unrelated jobs both in New York City and on Long Island.
This event is free and open to the public call the Library at (802)885-3108 if you have any questions.
