Special Events for Children & Young Adults!

History Comes to Life ...
A Visit with
Louisa May Alcott

Rines Auditorium, Main Library
Saturday, March 22 2:00pm
all ages welcome

One of America's most prolific writers, Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888), the fiercely independent author of Little Women, was born to an unconventional family who were leaders in abolition, women's suffrage, educational reform, child welfare, and much more. In 1868, Louisa wrote the now-classic Little Women in her family's home, the Orchard House, in Concord Massachusetts, the heart of the "literary flowering" of New England. Join us for an exciting opportunity to:

Meet the amazing Alcott family in such unusual settings as their Utopian community "Fruitlands"
Discover Louisa's experiences with the Underground Railroad and Civil War nursing
Delight in Louisa's memories of friends Emerson, Hawthorne, and others
