Prendergast Library Hosts Big Read Book Discussions  |
| |
Prendergast Library has set six book discussions on My Antonia by Willa Cather as part of The Big Read this winter.
Staff members will lead the conversations, which are free and open to the public.
The library is pleased to host opportunities for people who would like to talk with others about this classic American novel, said Director Catherine Way.
Book discussions will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 18; Tuesday, Feb. 23; and Thursday, March 18.
Evening discussions at 7 p.m. will take place on Thursday, March 4; Tuesday, March 9; and Tuesday, March 23.
My Antonia tells the story of a Bohemian immigrant girl who moves to Nebraska with her family and adjusts to a new way of life. The novel is considered Cathers masterpiece.
SUNY Fredonia is partnering with the Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Library System this winter to encourage local residents to read the book.
Other discussions, movie showings, displays and programs are scheduled at public libraries throughout Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties during February and March.
The Big Read is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services and Arts Midwest.
Prendergast Library is located at 509 Cherry St., Jamestown. For more information, call 484-7135, Ext. 225.
