America 250
Join us for an engaging evening with author and writer Eric Weiner.
Eric will be discussing his recent book, "Ben & Me : In Search of a Founder's Formula for a Long and Useful Life."
"Part biography, part travelogue, part self-help, New York Times bestselling author Eric Weiner follows in the footsteps of Benjamin Franklin, mining his life for inspiration and practical lessons for living a purposeful and virtuous life.
Ben Franklin lingers in our lives and in our imaginations. One of only two non-presidents to appear on US currency, Franklin was a founder, statesman, scientist, inventor, diplomat, publisher, humorist, and philosopher. He believed in the American experiment, but Ben Franklin’s greatest experiment was…Ben Franklin. In that spirit of betterment, Eric Weiner embarks on an ambitious quest to live the way Ben lived."
This event is part of the library's celebration of America 250.
The event is free and all are welcome.
Registration recommended.
