We're got a challenge for you this Winter! Read as many Torrington Library books as you can from January-March 2014! Our goal is to have patrons read 5,000 books in three months! We know you can do it! Here's how it works:
Remember, the books you read must be from the Torrington Library! This can include audio books, eBooks through OverDrive, and books from any of our regular collections (adult, YA, juvenile, fiction, and non fiction). At the end of the read-a-thon, the person who reads the most Torrington Library Kids Books 1 (pre-K through Grade 3); Kid’s Books 2 (Grades 4-6); and Adults (Ages 13+) will win a cool prize! On Thursday, November 7th from 6:00pm – 7:30pm discover the life and work of Eugene O'Neill. American Playwright and Nobel laureate in literature, O’Neill brought a darker side to the theatre; a more introspective view of the human soul. Creating such works as A Long Day’s Journey Into Night, Desire Under the Elms, Strange Interlude and more, O’Neill is highly recognizable and as interesting a man as the characters he created. Call 860.489.6684 to register or email Jessica at jessh@torringtonlibrary.org Nora Ephron Lecture Thursday, Sept., 5th from 6:00-7:30 Registration begins Aug. 15th Perhaps one of the most recognizable female creators of our time, Nora Ephron has taken her place in literary history. Whether she was writing and directing a film, writing a play for the theatre, or tickling us with her abundant humor, Ephron will be remembered! To register, please call the library at 860.489.6684 or email Jessica. |
