Drake's Corner Literary Society at Effingham Public Library April 20

Published Date

EFFINGHAM — The Effingham Public Library is pleased to announce the formation of the Drake's Corner Literary Society. The society was created as a forum for lovers of literature. The name Drake's Corner was chosen as a tribute to the history of the area of Center Effingham where the library is located. Drake's Corner was one of several vibrant communities within Effingham back in the days of the horse and carriage.

The society will provide a forum for participants to recommend works of literature that they have enjoyed. These works can be in either print, audio, or video format.

Participants will be asked to give reasons for recommending a particular work, as well as a 50-100 word annotation. These annotations will be added to our online catalog as reference for library users. As time allows, there will be discussion and a question and answer period.

The public is invited to participate. The society will meet on the third Friday of each month at 12:30 p.m. at the Effingham Public Library, 30 Town House Road. The next meeting will be April 20. Coffee and tea are available. Feel free to bring a light lunch or snack. For more information call the library at 539-1537, or e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots.
