FML and FOLA Join to Celebrate 50th Anniversary of Historic Book

Gregory Peck in award-winning role in "To
Kill a Mockingbird"

"To Kill a Mockingbird," the Pulitzer ward winning novel by Harper Lee will celebrate its 50th year as part of the American - and International, literary scene this year. The story of racism and small town Southern life as seen through the eyes and experiences of a young child, has become a fabled part of our written and filmed history. In keeping with the celebration of this great novel, the Friends of Fletcher Memorial Library in Ludlow has joined with FOLA (Friends of Ludlow Auditorium) to feature this work as both an outstanding piece of literature and a milestone motion picture. The Friends of Fletcher Memorial Library will conduct a discussion of the book at the Library on Thursday, July 28 at 7 PM. Copies of the book may be obrained from the Library. In conjunction with the book, FOLA has arranged to feature the film version as its "First Thursday", with the film showing on Thursday, August 4 at 7 PM at the Ludlow Town Hall Auditorium. The film features what many believe to be the greatest acting performance of Gregory Peck. For information, call 802-228-8921.
