November 30: Growing Up in the Last Small Town
Retired Marshall professor Bob Barnett will be at Lunch With Books at the Ohio County Public Library on Tuesday November 30 at noon to present Growing Up in the Last Small Town: A West Virginia Memoir, a humorous and poignant story of growing up in small-town America between 1940 and 1960. For Bob and the other children in unincorporated pottery town Newell, West Virginia, it was a time of simple pleasures. This story captures the rhythm of small-town life that we thought would never change — but did. The generation whose story is told in this book grew up in the last small town in America. Lunch With Books programs are free and open to the public. Patrons are invited to bring a bag lunch and free beverages are provided. Please call the library at 304-232-0244 for more information.
