During this time of great sorrow and upheaval in New York City caused by the destruction of the World Trade Center, we at Logos mourn with the rest of the city, the United States and the world the tragic loss of life that has occurred. May those who have lost loved ones, family members and friends be comforted in their grief. May we all be allowed to heal, and may the world be at peace. If we at Logos can be of any help with recommendations for reading materials in the areas of grief, counseling, healing or any other topic, let us know.

In the spirit of getting back to normal that Mayor Giuliani has suggested to all New Yorkers, we at Logos would like to invite New Yorkers to step out and enjoy life in the city again. At Logos, in particular, through October 30th at 7 P.M. is the Siren Project featuring upcoming women writers and performers presenting readings of plays and screenplays. At all Siren Project evenings enjoy 20% off any book or music cd or cassette sale. Free admission to the readings. Call Logos for further details. If you like to read books and discuss them, come join the Kill Your TV Reading Group now celebrating its third year and about to start its fourth year. Kill Your TV Reading Group meets the first Wednesday of every month at 7 P.M. The next two meetings and books are: Wednesday, October 3, Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis and Wednesday, November 7th, The Hours by Michael Cunningham. From its start in 1998, KYTV has discussed a wide range of books from Barbara Tuchman’s The Guns Of August to Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone and Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets including Salman Rushdie’s Satanic Verses, Jude The Obscure by Thomas Hardy, A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers, The Golden Bowl by Henry James, On The Road by Jack Kerouac, Dreaming In Cuban by Cristina Garcia and A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley among others.

For children there are puppet shows on Thursday October 11th and Saturday October 27th at 3:30 P.M. And the ever popular children’s story hour will now be on Mondays at 3:30 P.M. Come see us. Peace.
