The public is invited to a book group conversation about a mystical library described in "The Library of Babel," a short story by Argentinian author and librarian Jorge Luis Borges. The free event, part of the 150th anniversary celebration of the Williamstown public library will be held at the Milne Library, 1095 Main Street in Williamstown on Tuesday, April 16 at 10:00 a.m. The event coincides with National Librarian Day and continues the library's 150th anniversary celebration.
The story, published in Collected Fictions, is available at the library circulation desk or for downloading at: https://sites.evergreen.edu/politicalshakespeares/wp-content/uploads/sites/226/2015/12/Borge[...]pdf
Borges enthusiasts and newcomers alike are welcome and encouraged to bring questions, share thoughts, and otherwise participate in the conversation.
The events and programs of the Williamstown Public Library's 150th anniversary are made possible through generous funding by local sponsor MountainOne, your local Berkshires bank.
