Little House at the Library

Agoura's One City, One Book celebration will present A Day With Laura Ingalls Wilder at the on Saturday at 2 p.m. Each year the City of Agoura Hills selects one book as a centerpiece for promoting reading in our community. For the adults, that book is True Grit by Charles Portis, and for the children, it's Little House on the Prairie," said Mayor Harry Schwarz.

Ms. Wilder, portrayed by actress Judith Helter, will entertain families by recounting true stories from the writings of Laura Ingalls Wilder, both as a child and later in life, said Grace Bernard, Youth Services Librarian.

"[Helter] is known as a living history performer," said Bernard. "So she never breaks character, even when responding to questions from the audience."

Following the program, attendees are invited to enjoy refreshments provided by the library.  The event is free.

On May 26, the city will hold a free screening of the original film, True Grit, starring John Wayne and Kim Darby, at the Regency Agoura Stadium 8 Cinemas. Darby will be on-hand to answer questions from the audience before the show.
