Join White Plains Librarian Barbara Wenglin via Zoom for our Winter/Spring Series using the anthology, "Stories of Books and Libraries", edited by Jane Holloway (Everyman's Pocket Classics, 2023)
At this session, we will explore a charming coming-of-age story of a city girl of modest means who reads constantly and avoids experiencing life fully during a visit to the summer country house of her wealthy friend. "Girl Reading" by (the other) Elizabeth Taylor was published in The New Yorker in 1961 and is a Women's History Month selection (p.125 in anthology).
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 3/13/25, 3/27/25, 4/17/25, 5/1/25 (film discussion), 5/22/25, 6/5/25, 6/26/25 (final film discussion). Meeting ID for all sessions is: 844 0535 5854 or phone in at 1-929-436-2866, no password needed.
