Marjorie Kinnan Rawlingsa one woman show by Karen De Vos@ your NPR Library, 5939 Main Street, New Port Richey, 727-853-1279, www.nprlibrary.org

Karen De Vos portrays Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Yearling. Her research for Rawlings resulted in numerous sojourns to Florida to visit the author’s home in Cross Creek and to study materials housed in the special collections library at UF, Gainesville.

The performance focuses primarily on Rawlings’s life in Cross Creek from 1933-1947, since those were her most productive writing years. In the presentation, Rawlings describes her life “at the Creek”, how she became intrigued with her Cracker neighbors, and why she chose to portray them in stories, articles, and poems.

Slides, made from the Rawlings UF collection accompany the program. Displays will include a book exhibit and other interesting memorabilia.

Thurs, Mar. 15 at 2PMNo charge, but reservations are suggested.

"It's funny that we think of libraries as quiet demure places where we are shushed by dusty, bun-balancing, bespectacled women.  The truth is libraries are raucous clubhouses for free speech, controversy and community.  Librarians have stood up to the Patriot Act, sat down with noisy toddlers and reached out to illiterate adults.  Libraries can never be shushed."

Comedian and author Paula Poundstone, national spokesperson for Friends of Libraries U.S.A. (FOLUSA)
