Library to Host Book Discussion Groups

The Tompkins County Public Library will offer opportunities for readers to talk about the 2011 Community Read, “Homer and Langley” by E.L. Doctorow, as Community Read Coordinator Sarah Glogowski hosts two book discussion groups, Tuesday, September 20 from 11:00 AM to Noon and Thursday, September 22 from 7:00 to 8:00 PM in the BorgWarner Community Room.

Participants of all ages are invited to share their impressions of and discuss the relevance, themes and messages of “Homer and Langley.”

“Homer and Langley” is based on the now-folkloric lives of the Collyer brothers, whose bodies were found in 1947 amidst 100-ton of refuse---including newspapers, preserved human organs and a Model T Ford---in their Fifth Avenue brownstone.

This program is free and open to the public; however, advance registration is required by contacting Glogowski at (607) 272-4557 extension 255 or sglogowski@tcpl.org.
