Monthly Book Discussion: Five Thousand Days Like This One

This month's book is Five Thousand Days Like This One by Jane Brox.
When her father died Jane Brox returned to manage the family farm in the Merrimack Valley. Using family reminiscences, archival materials, and quotations from Henry David Thoreau, she details the story of the stalwart men and women who formed the working communities of mill towns like Lowell and Lawrence-immigrants who struggled, slaved, and dreamed of a better life. Read the book then join us for a lively discussion and light refreshments.

Extra copies of the book can be found at the Circulation Desk in the month prior to this program. This program is open to adults and teens. Registration is helpful but not required.
