Do you wonder why after 200 years, we are still so very interested in Jane Austen? She may have only written six novels, but we remain endlessly fascinated by her life, her story-telling, her characters, the many modern adaptations, and the Regency Period she lived in and wrote about – the Fashion, the Carriages, the Royal Navy! Join us for a visual journey through ‘All Things Austen’ – you may discover why it is never too late to start reading (or re-reading!) everything she created with her witty pen. For those well-versed in their Austen, as well as those just curious about what they have been missing…
~ Free & open to the public ~ Light refreshments served ~
Space is limited for social distancing: please RSVP by March 16 to the library:
