Bookmarks at the Museum, Let the Great World Spin

Thursday, April 15, 2010 • 2 pm

Westchester Township History Museum

Westchester Public Library’s book review series, Bookmarks at the Museum, will meet at 2 p.m. on Thursday, April 15, 2010 at the Westchester Township Museum, an educational service of Westchester Public Library. The museum is housed in the Brown Mansion at 700 W. Porter Ave., Chesterton. Dennis Norman will review Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann.

McCann follows the occasionally converging lives of ten New Yorkers through August of 1974, a summer “hot and serious and full of death and betrayal” in which Watergate and the Vietnam War made life seem precarious and yet poignantly precious.

Bookmarks at the Museum is a free series which takes place monthly at the Westchester Township History Museum and Michigan City Public Library, both at 2 p.m. The reviews take place on Thursday in Chesterton and on Friday in Michigan City. Coffee, tea, and cookies will be served.

Bookmarks at the Museum will meet next on Thursday, May 20, 2010 when Kathleen Mullen will review the book Help, Kathryn Stockett’s first novel.

It is not necessary to have read the books in advance to enjoy the presentation. Both Thomas and Hageman Library have copies of the books reviewed in the series. For more information, call the museum at 983-9715.
