Curtis Memorial Library Director Elisabeth Doucett has joined Bowdoin College President Barry Mills in supporting a “Brunswick-Bowdoin Community Read” on the subject of class and economic differences.
A planning committee with representatives from the College and the Brunswick community has selected Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America by Barbara Ehrenreich for this project.
Copies are available for checkout at Curtis and Bowdoin libraries and can be purchased at area book stores.
Discussion groups and special events begin on Friday, January 27 – more information to follow.
