TUESDAY, JULY 13, 2010 FROM 4:30-6pm

The Ventress Memorial Library in Marshfield hosts an ongoing book discussion group that seeks to delve into classic literature and find fresh insights while considering modern-day perspectives. The next session will meet on Tuesday, July 13, 2010 from 4:30-6:00 in the library's Historical Room. The group will discuss Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the book's July 11, 1960 publishing date. Set in the American South during the 1930s, the author weaves a story around class and race tensions. The book was voted by librarians as the best novel of the 20th century in a Library Journal survey.
