Journey to the Edge at the Library


The Friends of the Dover Public Library and the New Hampshire Humanities Council are jointly sponsoring a book discussion series titled “Journeys to the Edge”. The series explores how we are drawn to travel into harm’s way, enchanted by the unknown, and lured to the frontier. These books put us shoulder to shoulder with men and women who have traveled to the edge, some by choice others thrust there by circumstance. What is it that they discover?

The series includes 3 monthly discussions led by NH Humanities Council scholars.

Mon., March 5 at 7:00pm: “The Rope Eater” by Ben Jones with the
discussion led by Laurie Quinn.

Mon., April 2 at 7:00pm: “West with the Night” by Beryl Markham with the
discussion led by Elizabethada Wright.

Mon., May 7 at 7:00pm: “Touching the Void” by Joe Simpson with the
discussion led by Clia Goodwin.

All discussions will be held in the Dover Public Library Lecture Hall. Pick up a copy of the books at the Library, but copies are limited so don’t delay. For more information call the library at 516-6050. For descriptions of the books visit our website at http://www.dover.lib.nh.us/humanitiescouncil.htm.
