Clarendon Hills Library announces One Author/One Community Series

What was happening in 1924?

The Village of Clarendon Hills was incorporated, and Agatha Christie was one of the most popular authors around—on her way to becoming the best-selling fiction writer of all time (according to the Guinness Book of World Records).

The Clarendon Hills Library is combining these two landmark events into a month-long celebration that will take residents back to 1924 by reading Agatha Christie—specifically the two mysteries she wrote in 1924, Poirot Investigates and The Man in the Brown Suit.

But reading is only one part of the celebration. The library will host a program all about tea-drinking (which happens in every Agatha Christie novel), a movie screening of A Haunting in Venice which is based on Christie's The Halloween Party, craft programs to make Poirot Book Bags and Agatha Christie mugs, book discussions, book giveaways, Agatha Christie themed gift basket giveaway, and a visit from Ms. Christie herself as portrayed by Debra Miller of Historical Women of Letters.
