The Morse Reading Adventure


  Books recommended by the Morse Museum Literary Group
 

Members of the Morse Museum Literary Group meet monthly to discuss books they have read.  Through the Morse Reading Adventure, they recommend books they feel have distinguishing qualities; some may or may not be Best Sellers.

 

Meetings are held at 3:00 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month at the Jeannette G. and Hugh F. McKean Pavilion. Find out more about membership activities and events at the Morse Museum by calling (407) 645-5311 or through the Morse website: www.morsemuseum.org.
