Between 1854 and 1929, over 250,000 orphans and unwanted children were taken out of New York City and given away at train stations across America. Children were sent to every state in the continental United States in order to rid the streets and overcrowded orphanages of homeless children and provide them with an opportunity to find new homes. The Longview Public Library will host a special program about this event called “Riders On The Orphan Train.” The program will take place in the Library’s Moeschle Room on Tuesday, May 21^st at 7:00 PM.

The one-hour multimedia program will combine live music, a video montage with archival photographs and interviews of survivors, and a dramatic reading from Alison Moore’s 2012 novel, Riders on the Orphan Train. Although the program is about children, it is designed to engage audiences of all ages and to inform, inspire and raise awareness about this little-known part of history. Local relatives and acquaintances of Orphan Train Riders are especially invited to attend and share their stories with the audience. The event is made possible in part with a grant from Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The selection for May's meeting of the Informal Ladies' Book Club is  is Abigail & John: Portrait Of A Marriage. The novel, by Edith Gelles, is based on the lives of President John Adams and his wife and First Lady Abigail. The Book Club will meet here at the Library on Thursday, May 23rd at 6:30 PM to this historical read.

Come join us for a lively discussion as we share our love of books and reading!
