(TROY,

Library introduces two programs designed to involve adults in a community wide
reading initiative called “One Book, One Community.” Centered on the novels of Jane Austen, the
two September programs are set to stimulate discussion about a common reading
experience in conjunction with the Suburban Library Cooperative and its member
libraries.
“Booked for Lunch” is scheduled for Wednesday, September 9, from 12:15-1:15 pm and will focus on
Austen’s “Emma.” No registration is required. Participants are encouraged to bring a
beverage, lunch and their thoughts about the novel. Copies of the book are available at the Adult
Service reference desk.
A
Jane Austen Film Festival is
scheduled for Saturday, September 12,
from 12-5 pm. The two featured films
are “Emma” with Gwyneth Paltrow, Ewan McGregor and Jeremy Northam
and “Bride and Prejudice,” the Bollywood musical adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice.” Attendees are welcome to register to attend
one or both films and can plan to enjoy tea and scones between the showings.
(Films are recommended for older teens and above).
