A Hard Look at America discussion Series
From 6/27/2023 to 9/26/2023, Latham Memorial Library will host the book discussion series A Hard Look at America. Established by a newspaper publisher and coinciding with the founding of a journalism school at Columbia University, the Pulitzer Prizes have continually recognized excellence in journalism. The books in this series, comprised of Pulitzer-winning reporting and research, dig deep, revealing facts and stories that continue to be relevant years after they were brought to the surface.
All discussions will take place at 7:00 pm in the Reading Room on the main floor of the library, except for the first discussion which will be held at the Peabody Library in Post Mills.
- June 27 AT PEABODY LIBRARY: Sheri Fink, Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital *At Peabody Library*
- July 25: Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, All the President’s Men
- August 29: Edward J. Larson, Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America’s Continuing Debate Over Science and Religion

These sessions are free, open to the public, and accessible to those with disabilities. Books will be available on loan in advance. For more information, contact Emily Zollo at (802) 785-4361 or librarian@thetfordlibrary.org
