The Big Day!

Doris Kearns Goodwin's appearance at the Brentwood Library was a rousing success. A packed house, a witty and gracious speaker, a staff and committee members working like a well-oiled machine-even the weather cooperated. The coyotes on the runway at Logan Airport were, unfortunately, not on board, but nothing is perfect!
Pictures will soon be posted, so check back soon.

Reader Review

Here's what one Huntington Public Library patron had to say about Wait Till Next Year:

I really enjoyed this book: it made me feel I was back in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, enjoying my neighborhood, my family, my friends and the Dodgers. I now feel homesick for the past, it was so good and the make up of Bensonhurst has now changed, just as Doris' Rockville Centre has changed.

I guess you can't go home again!
