Sunday, December 11th, 2011 - 4 pm - Sylvia Nasar will read from Grand Pursuit
"Grand Pursuit is a history of economics which is full of
flesh, bloom and warmth. The author demonstrates that there is far
more to economics than Thomas Carlyle's 'dismal science' and does
so with all the style and panache that you would expect from the
author of the 1998 bestseller, A Beautiful Mind." - The
Economist
If only Econ 101 had been this interesting -

Seeking All Larchmont Writers and Filmmakers

Who are the Friends of the Larchmont Public Library?
We are interested residents who contribute to the Library in important ways. Government funding alone cannot finance all the cultural events that our community currently enjoys. The Friends of the Library — an independent 501c(3) not–for–profit organization — provides the money needed for these additional programs. Please join us and become a member. There are plenty of opportunities for interested volunteers!
