Age of Innocence wrap-up

If you weren’t able to join us for the book discussion of Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence last week, you can still catch the film. It will be showing at 6:00 p.m. at the Main Library.

Edith Wharton’s home at risk of closing

As part of the series of Big Read events, there is a bus tour through UHLS to The Mount scheduled for this coming Saturday. Unfortunately, GalleyCat is reporting that The Mount, Edith Wharton’s home and gardens in the Berkshires is at serious risk of being foreclosed on in the near future. The Mount is trying to raise $3 million by Thurday, April 24 (yes, that’s tomorrow) and is pretty far short of that goal as of this moment. Click here for more information. (If nothing else, the photos of the gardens are really something to see!)

The Age of Innocence – book discussion

This Thursday at the Main Library, we’ll be hosting a book discussion for anyone who’d like to chat more about Edith Wharton and her book. Join us at 7:00 at the Main Library for this Big Read event. See you there!
