Library to Host Lunch and Learn Book Group

The Tompkins County Public Library will offer readers a final chance to talk about the 2011 Community Read, “Homer and Langley” by E.L. Doctorow, as Community Read Coordinator Sarah Glogowski and Exhibit Coordinator Sally Grubb host a Lunch and Learn book discussion group, Thursday, October 13 from Noon to 1:00 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. Participants are encouraged to bring a lunch, coffee, tea, and water will be provided. For more information, contact Sarah Glogowski at (607) 272-4557 extension 255 or sglogowski@tcpl.org.
