Bookclub | 16/09/2016 | 2:30 pm-4:00 pm

Agnes Grey

The September read for the bookclub is “Agnes Grey” by Anne Brontë.

” Patience, Firmness, and Perseverance were my only weapons.” “Agnes Grey” (1847) was Anne Bronte s first novel and a poignant account of her own experience as a struggling governess, obliged to earn her living in one of the few ways open to an educated Victorian girl. Agnes is not a romantic heroine such as those we find in the books of Anne’s sisters Charlotte and Emily, but her story paints a more realistic picture of what happens when an intelligent, sensitive young woman has to endure months of isolation and frustration in an unsympathetic household that is not her home.


Writing for Austin | 16/09/2016 | 4:00 pm-5:00 pm

pen-paper

Come and join us at the library for a writing workshop in English about what it is like to live in Angers.  What do we do with our days? What are the sights, sounds, tastes? How does it FEEL to live in Angers? We will be getting our Austinites to contribute the same and, why not, combine our texts, linking our lives in these two cities.


Come and meet Ethan Azarian, musician and artist | 16/09/2016 | 5:00 pm-6:00 pm

“I was born and raised in Cabot, Vermont where I enjoyed growing up in a creative environment.  Both my parents are artists so growing up I was surrounded by music and art. My parents were part of the back-to-the-land movement that happened back in the 1960’s and 1970’s. In my mid-twenties I moved from Vermont to Austin, Texas where I continue to paint and perform musicI have enjoyed working large scale in recent years and have painted a growing number of murals in Austin, including most recently a mural project titled Migration for the City of Austin’s Art in Public Places TEMPO program.  I have also worked with First Night Austin (and later Austin’s New Year) to create large-scale interactive installations for the New Year’s Celebration.” Ethan will be painting a mural in Angers during the Austin Week festival…and in the library to talk with you!
