April - May: West Roxbury Reads

The 2009 West Roxbury Reads series, sponsored by the Friends of the West Roxbury Branch Library, focuses on a nonfiction title, In Defense of Food, by investigative journalist Michael Pollan. Pollan, author also of the best-selling The Omnivore's Dilemma, will speak at the library on the evening of Tuesday, May 12.

The West Roxbury reads series, drawing on themes in Pollan's work, will begin on April 2, and run for six weeks until mid-May. See the Friends website www.FriendsWRLibrary.org for a full listing of events in the series, film revues and changes and additions to the calendar. The full calendar will also be available on bookmark calendars available at the library, and at the Paper Store/Hallmark in the Roche Center and Allandale Farm, which will be selling In Defense of Food.
