There’s more to Pinocchio than a long wooden nose!

The Anselm Society Book Club is beginning an adventure through the unabridged version of the 1883 classic novel, The Adventures of Pinocchio. If a board book or the Disney kid flick is your only experience of the little willful wooden guy, you’re in for a surprise!
Join us Saturday, May 28, 2022, at 6:30 PM. (NOTE: This is a week later than our regular third-Saturday meeting day.). We’ll jump into Pinocchio’s “Prodigal Son”-like adventures.
The club is open to all, whether or not you've read the book. For information, the location (near downtown), or to RSVP, send a note to anita@anselmsociety.org. Bring a snack to share if you can!
Pinocchio can be found for free online in a variety of places, including Project Gutenberg.
Bonus Point: We’ll be getting a jump on the Pub Night the Anselm Society has planned in November around the theme of Subcreation, which will include a retelling of “Pinocchio”!
Literary Matchmaking: Book lovers, bring a favorite book to share and go home with a new one to love!
Join us for storytelling and song, with music led by Anselm's pub band, and storytelling by some familiar bards—and YOU.
Join us for an evening of celebrating Advent, sharing a potluck dinner together, and reading a Christmas short story aloud.
Join us as we huddle around a
fire enjoying warm food and
drink, exploring the darker side
of the Christian imagination.
Join us an evening of stories and songs with singer/songwriter Matthew Clark.
