twitterMr. Spock beams down in Carson City
Monday, April 12, 1999 | 9:29 a.m.
Leonard Nimoy and his wife, Susan Bay-Nimoy, spent Sunday afternoon at the library reading four stories depicting moments of the human experience.
The Nimoys are residents of the Tahoe City, Calif., area. They were the first top-rank celebrities to ever perform at the Carson City Library and spent more than an hour reading to an audience of nearly 140 to launch National Library Week.
Nimoy said his five grandchildren and Bay-Nimoy's son all spend much time at libraries. Bay-Nimoy was especially emphatic about reading out loud to children.
They chose four short stories: "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" by Mark Twain, "The Catbird Seat" by James Thurber and "The Loudest Voice" by Grace Paley.
