Events at the OWL

Dawn of Dynasty

Book Discussion, Reception & Signing with Frank Strauss

Thursday, September 18th, 7:00 - 8:00 p.m.

With the imminent dismantling of fabled Yankee Stadium, a new book by Frank Strauss, Dawn of a Dynasty: The Incredible and Improbable Story of the 1947 New York Yankees, provides readers with a nostalgic look back at one of the most memorable seasons in the history of the legendary ballpark. Dawn of a Dynasty recalls the author’s memorable meeting with Babe Ruth and features the game-by-game exploits of the players who brought New York City its first post-war championship.

A graduate of Antioch College, Frank Strauss has spent over fifty years as a journalist and public relations director. Growing up in New York City as a rabid Yankee fan, he now divides his time between New York and Litchfield County.

A wine & cheese reception will follow the event.

Space is limited - REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED

My Favorite Nook

Posted by Audra on May 10, 2007

I remember when I was young and would escape to the neighborhood Library Branch in Waterbury. Or as a college student, I would go and hide at the W.C.S.U. Library. Libraries always seemed like a safe haven for me to squander my time away aimlessly. Whether it would be dodging my chores or just trying to get away from drunken roommates—the library offered me a quiet escape. Now mind you, my homework would get done first but then I would just browse the stacks and pull any book that would interest me~Of course there was always the incidental nap time that would freely occur! Did you ever notice how libraries always seem to have that comfy spot hidden away somewhere in a corner or at the end of a long dark stack? So toasty warm in a ray of sunlight—total ME time. Where is your favorite spot at the OWL?
