TKAM Recap, Upcoming Book Talks

Thanks to everyone who made our 50th anniversary celebration of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird so memorable: our speakers Nannette Crane-Post and Wayne Bryan; Erin McKenzie, Rayna Mackie and Loren Fraize for their art work; the Friends of the Library for sponsoring the event; Brittany Hennessee and Karen Covey for the magnificent tri-folds; Jill Dryden for taking these great pictures; and most of all, everyone who attended.

If you enjoyed this event, we have another one coming up Sunday, November 14th at 1 p.m. We're discussing Truman Capote's In Cold Blood with Greg Gibson of Henderson State University.

Coming up next year, we'll be looking at the works of Dashiell Hammett in January, and in May we'll celebrate the 75th anniversary of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind. If you start reading it now, you might have it finished by then. We'll also celebrate the 60th Anniversary of J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye next year, so get out your red hunting cap and watch out for phonies.

If you have a copy of Catcher or Gone with the Wind you've been using as a door stop, please let us use it for a display we're cooking up. Drop it off at the library. After being displayed, it will be sold by the Friends of the Library.

For more information on any of these events, please call the library at 623-4161 or 922-4483.
