"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 - Fortune

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! Find us on our website at http://www.larchmontlibrary.org/friends.html.
