    The MPL Book Club: The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton

    The Book Club is reading Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence!

    The Age of Innocence is the haunting story of the struggle between love and duty in Gilded Age New York told through the eyes of Newland Archer and his betrothed, May Welland. A young lawyer on the rise, Newland Archer needs only a society wife to solidify his position, but finds himself torn after he meets and falls deeply in love with May’s disgraced cousin, the Countess Olenska.

    The next meeting of the book club will be 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, May 14 at the Aull Center with a discussion of The Age of Innocence.

    To RSVP, or if you have questions, please call (304) 291-7425 ext.204.

    Green Nights at the Library

    This event started in 2010 when the City of Morgantown emphasized green initiatives declaring 2010 the year of It's Easy Being Green. Since then several Green Nights have been held at the library. Each event focuses on a green topic such as Home Energy Audits, Energy Efficiency Improvements, Organic Gardening, and Green Design & Architecture. Local experts lead the discussion and showcase information materials the library has on the topic.

    Sessions occur one Thursday night per month from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. and are located on the 1st floor of the library when space permits.
