What is CCLRS?

The Corpus Christi Literary Reading Series is a grassroots reading series that began in 1987.

I

t was a means of introducing Corpus Christi readers to the finest writers working in America today–while also introducing contemporary authors to their readers in Coastal Texas. We celebrate reading and we celebrate American literature as, twice a year, we host these public readings.

The Art Museum of South Texas auditorium provides a welcoming venue for the readings, whose audiences fill the auditorium. The night before each reading, patrons have the opportunity to visit and dine with the author at a private reception.
