Oceanside CA— The faculty and staff at the MiraCosta College Community Learning Center are preparing once more for a series of activities, booths, workshops, and presentations aimed at making reading fun for our local students and community.
The 8th annual Reading Festival will be held February 25-26 at the MiraCosta College Community Learning Center located at 1831 Mission Avenue, Oceanside.
This year’s activities will center on bestselling novelist, poet and essayist, Elizabeth Rosner. Rosner will do a presentation and readings for her books, The Speed of Light and Gravity.
Rosner’s work has appeared in the NY Times Magazine, Elle, the Forward, Hadassah Magazine, and several anthologies. Her book reviews appear frequently in the San Francisco Chronicle and the Los Angeles Review of Books.
Students and community members will also get a chance to learn about Rosner’s experiences as the daughter of Holocaust survivors and discuss topics such as World War II and genocide.
Rosner will be at the Community Learning Center for readings Wednesday, February 25, 7–8:30 p.m. and Thursday, February 26, 10–11:30 a.m. The event is free and open to the public.
