Short-Story Readings to Benefit Library

The Ojai Valley Library Foundation will sponsor a night of short-story readings Saturday that will include a performance by television and film star Larry Hagman, organizers said.

The “Ojai Shorts” event takes place at 7:30 p.m. at Thacher School, 5052 Thacher Road. Tickets are $35 per person or $100 for entry to the pre-event VIP reception, organizer Lisa Meeker said.

Hagman and other celebrities who live near Ojai, including Robert Krimmer, the divorced priest from “One Life to Live,” will attend the reception and then read from selected short stories, Meeker said.
