Food, fun & great discussion of Frankenstein, the Village Read

Join Thomas Ford Memorial Library at Anderson's Bookshop (26 South La Grange Road, La Grange) on Wednesday, July 18 from 7-8:30 PM for food, fun, and great discussion. Librarians Matthew Wenslauskis and Nancy Long will lead an informal talk on the Western Springs Village Read, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Refreshments will be provided. RSVP by phone (708) 246-0520 or online fordlibrary.org/events.

Here's the backstory on this event, as posted earlier: Great books bring people together. Join Thomas Ford Library this summer for the first annual Village Read and help foster that community spirit. To kick things off, we've chosen Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, which is celebrating its 200th year since publication. The Library is encouraging the entire village to read, discuss, or explore this fantastic classic. We will be presenting programs, activities, films, and a book discussion. To help as many people as possible to get their hands on Frankenstein, we are giving away free paperback copies at the Library. If you prefer a free digital copy, you can download an EPUB copy here, or a Kindle copy here.

[Update: we have given away all the free paperbacks, but would be happy to help you get a library copy to borrow. The digital copies are still available.]

Be sure to pick up or download our summer newsletter to see all the great events and activities we have planned around this amazing book!
