CVL-Caledon Literary Group Transcripts
These are transcripts of the monthly Sci-Fi short-story discussions of the CVL-Caledon Literary Group, generally held on the second Thursday of each month at 5 pm SLT. At times, the discussion was postponed to the third Thursday or to the next month.
The literary group started out as a collaboration between the Community Virtual Library (CVL) group and the Virginia Society for Technology in Education (VSTE). Over its months in existence, it has changed to a collaboration between CVL and Caledon Oxbridge University (COU).
