Pearl Street Centennial Celebration – Book Discussions through the Decades

Date of Program:  Monday, March 3, 2014 at 7:00 PM at the Pearl Street Branch Library

2014 marks The Pearl Street Branch Library’s 100th Anniversary!  Please join us in our year long Pearl Street Branch Centennial Celebration.

The provocative series, “Book Discussions through the Decades,” continues with The Private Life of Helen of Troy (1926) by John Erskine on Monday, March 3rd at 7:00 PM at the Pearl Street Branch Library.  The novel takes place after the events in the Iliad, with Menelaus bringing Helen back to Sparta after sparing her life at the behest of Agamemnon.  Special guest facilitator, Laura Hayden, is an author, writer, and teacher at Asnuntuck Community College and Western Connecticut State University.  She received her MFA in Writing at Western Connecticut State University in 2010.  Refreshments will be served at the discussion and copies of the book are available for check-out at either library location.
