Artist reading, discussion coming to Newton Public Library

Join us in the library at 6:30 p.m. Monday to greet Molly Rideout, the amazing artist behind the story on the staff windows. The library is one of 12 selected as part of the Grin City Art Installations.

Newton, Toledo and Cedar Rapids will enjoy micro-fiction and personal essays by Grin City Collective’s co-director, writer Molly Rideout. Rather than selecting excerpts from a larger piece, Rideout chose short, original, unpublished stories for each community to enjoy in their entirety. Join us in welcoming Molly Rideout.
