You are invited to participate in the Spring 2010 One Book, One Chicago program presented by the Chicago Public Library. Loyola University Libraries will host the discussion of this year’s exciting selection, Brooklyn by Colm Toibin, on Thursday, April 15 at 2:00 p.m. in Corboy Law Center, Rm 713, WTC. Loyola alumna and Chicago Public Librarian, Janette Kopacz will facilitate the discussion. It is a story of a young woman in the 1950s who leaves her small Irish town to settle in Brooklyn, New York in order to find work. It is also a story about family, home, identity and the heartbreak that comes with change. Please come join us and invite your friends and colleagues to discuss the story of this young Irish woman braving a new city alone nearly 60 years ago, with occasional letters from home as her only comfort.
