As part of the Big Read series of programs, La Grange Public Library will be hosting a vibrant and intimate look at Cajun culture in Louisiana. On Monday, May 2, at 7pm, enjoy Susan Boldrey as she takes us through the bayous and streets of New Orleans.
See images of alligators and the home of a Cajun family. “Stroll” and “eat” your way through the city, check out Mardi Gras, jazz and the Creole spirit. Find out who the current residents and protectors are of the Cajun culture following catastrophic events such as Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil spill.
The Big Read is a cooperative project of ten West suburban libraries that seek to connect communities through literature. The Big Read encourages patrons at all these libraries to read the same book with the goal of promoting reading, sparking discussion, and building community.
