The Friends of the Brookline Library and the Brookline Historical Society are teaming up to host author and award-winning journalist Ted Reinstein, who will give a talk, "Greetings from Breed's Hill: Fact & Folklore on America's 250th".

The talk will be preceded by a short business meeting at 6:30 pm.

Putterham Library presents actors Stephen Collins and Poornima Kirby from New Muse Productions as they take on the three-thousand-year-old epic about the adventures of Odysseus, a wily and complicated traveler. This two-person, one-hour adaptation draws from multiple translations, with poetry and sea-chanties to connect this age-old epic to our modern time. Told as a marital squabble between Odysseus and his wife Penelope, the story weaves through Odysseus' travels and his arrival back in Ithaca, where he must face the fall-out from his many-year absence and and to find out if he can really come home again.

Please note this program will be outdoors on the Library lawn - sunscreen, water, and picnic blankets encouraged. Chairs will be provided. If the weather isn't suitable, it will be moved inside to the Meeting Room.
