Theme: homelessness

Those of you who have started reading The Double Bind know that one major theme in the book is homelessness. We’ve just added a link to Tri-County CAP Homeless Programs, http://www.tccaphomeless.org/, a service organization serving this area. In addition, an informational program about the challenges of homelessness in rural areas is in the works. According to Joie Finley Morris at Tri-County CAP Homeless Programs, Carroll County has one Homeless Outreach Worker and is the only county in NH without any homeless shelters.

Events start this week!

Wednesday, September 30th at 6 pm: See the film “The Great Gatsby” at the Effingham Public Library. Made in 1974 from a Francis Ford Coppola screenplay, it stars many of the 1970s brightest: Robert Redford, Mia Farrow, Bruce Dern, Karen Black, and a young Sam Waterston. Characters and settings from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s jazz-age novel The Great Gatsby appear in The Double Bind.

Friday, October 2nd at 10 am: the first book group discussion of The Double Bind takes place at the North Conway Library.
