For Immediate Release: Pen to Palette Book Club @ WCDPL Meets Monday, December 7 at 7:00 pm
Pen to Palette Book Club will meet Monday, December 7 at 7:00 pm in Wood County District Public Library’s (Bowling Green, Ohio) 1st floor meeting room. The group will discuss Marina Fiorato’s debut novel, The Glassblower of Murano. The setting for the novel moves between modern-day and 17th century Venice in an entrancing mix of history, mystery, art, music, poetry, romance, and politics. Said Publisher’s Weekly, “The author’s descriptive prose brings the beauty and danger of 17th century Venice vividly to life. . . . Those who enjoy intrigue and European history will be easily drawn into this romantic story.” Glass collectors Lee and Milt Hakel of Bowling Green will be special guests at the December 7th book discussion. The Hakels will share pieces from their collection and talk about their glass-collecting trips.
This is the third in a series of book discussions at WCDPL which is paired with an exclusive, free tour of the Toledo Museum of Art. The “From Murano to Toledo" tour will take place Friday, December 13 at 7:00 pm and will feature TMA’s Glass Pavilion and will highlight a glassblowing demonstration. Those interested in the tour need not have read the book. However, registrations must be made by December 2 at the library’s 2nd floor Information Desk or through the library’s online events calendar at wcdpl.org.
Copies of The Glassblower of Murano are currently available at the library. Everyone is invited to these free events. For more information about both the library book discussion or the TMA tour, call WCDPL at 419-352-5104. |
