Program Description
Event Details
Our popular book-inspired lecture series returns, but this time as Pages of History: Gen X Edition! In honor of the Grayslake Heritage Center and Museum, Growing Up X, we have chosen three books that were cultural touchstones during the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Three different presenters will take participants beyond the book to discuss the history of when each book was written and the contemporary topics that take place within the stories. Partnering with the Grayslake Heritage Center and Museum and the Grayslake Historical Society, the three books and their respective presenters are as follows:
September 24: Nancy Drew with speaker Dr. Leslie Goddard
October 29: Bright Lights, Big City with speaker Dr. Devin Hunter
December 3: Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret with speaker Michele Hurwitz
Books will be available checkout through the Grayslake Area Public Library. We look forward to seeing you at these totally rad events!
