Saturday, May 2, Civitas is hosting a NewsHour for students, teachers and other guests. We will have two guests in the 10:00 – 11:30 AM ZOOM program, each with a half-hour for presentation as well as Q&A.
Joining us will be Holland Saltsman, owner of the Novel Neighbor. Holland will talk about the struggles of being a small business store owner during this time of quarantine. (The Novel Neighbor is a Webster Groves based bookstore.)
