Join White Plains Librarian Barbara Wenglin for our Fall Zoom Story Series using the rich anthology, "Stories of Books and Libraries" (ed. Jane Holloway, Everyman's Pocket Classics, 2023).

At this session we will explore “The Gatsby Trial” by Azar Nafisi (p.459), from her powerful, bestselling memoir, Reading Lolita in Tehran (2003). When a student challenges Prof. Nafisi’s teaching The Great Gatsby, a mock trial is set up with the professor defending character and book.

Copies of the series anthology, Stories of Books and Libraries, are available to reserve through the catalog with one held at the Reference Desk for reading in the Library. These vibrant and varied selections by diverse authors pay tribute to the written word in works published throughout history, to their readers, and to the intriguing spaces that house them. We will meet Thursdays from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m on  10/31/24, 11/14/24 (film discussion), 12/5/24, 12/19/24, 1/2/25, and 1/23/25 (final film discussion).  

Register for the full zoom series and attend when you can. The program is supported by The Friends of the White Plains Library.  All are welcome, including newcomers! To register, Click This Zoom Link
