New Reading Group at the Library: Memorable Memoirs

[LibraryPrograms]

Memoirs come in all shapes and sizes, but they all have one thing in common: they are not autobiographies. Rather than a straight chronology of the author’s life, memoirs hone in on a specific feature of that life. The following memoirs use both traditional and unconventional formats to do just that.

Join us at the library for our newest book series through the Vermont Humanities Council. All are welcome to attend one session or all four. Sign out your copy our first book at the the library today! Our first discussion group is the poignant work, The Education of Henry Adams, by Henry Adams. Our discussion leader is John R. Turner.
