Join the Canajoharie Library and the Palatine Literary Society for a discussion of "The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland" by Jim DeFede. A feel-good book about a very tragic event in American history. The true story behind the events on 9/11 that inspired Broadway's smash hit musical "Come From Away." All are welcome!

Facilitated by the Palatine Literary Society

Copies of the book are available at the Library Desk.

For more information, call (518) 673-2314 or email Library Assistant Peg Voth.

By the late 1800s, famous dogs were all the rage. World-traveling “rovers,” mutts trained to act drunk on Vaudeville stages, and the canine film stars predating Rin Tin Tin are just a few of the dog characters who had bigger fan bases than some human celebrities. Historian Kelli Huggins will introduce you to the weird, but true, world of early dog stardom.

This program is free to the public, and donations are welcome. For more information, contact Curator of Education & Public Engagement Jenna Peterson Riley or call (518) 673-2314.
