Join NPL's newly formed Classics Book Group! This group meets in-person from 3-4 PM on the third Thursday of every month in the Director's Room. Please call 978-465-4428 x2 if you have any questions or would like to have a librarian put the book on hold for you. 

For the month of February, we will be discussing "The Rise of Silas Lapham" by William Dean Howells.

"William Dean Howells' richly humorous characterization of a self-made millionaire in Boston society provides a paradigm of American culture in the Gilded Age. After establishing a fortune in the paint business, Silas Lapham moves his family from their Vermont farm to the city of Boston, where they awkwardly attempt to break into Brahmin society."
