PORT TOWNSEND — “You Say It’s Your Birthday” is the theme of this Saturday night’s PT Shorts, a free literary reading at the Pope Marine Building, 603 Water St.
In celebration of the Port Townsend Library’s 100th birthday, a slate of stories will be read aloud: “Birthday Moon,” a children’s tale by Fran Asch; “Promises,” a snarky schoolgirl’s story about a birthday gift from her best friend by Ellen Conford; “The Birthday Girl,” Haruki Murakami’s story about a Japanese waitress and a reclusive restaurant owner; and “The Birthday of Madeline Bloor,” a brief poem about an out-of-sight gift.
A variety of Port Townsend librarians will step up for the 7:30 p.m. reading: Cris Wilson, Mirandy Cook, Terrence Campbell and Jody Glaubman, who is retired.
