Come as a character from Kenneth Grahame's novel, The Wind in the Willows, and join us as we listen to, and discuss, a new chapter each month of the adventures of the shy but loyal Mole, the poetical Water Rat, the brave Otter, the gruff but kindly Mr. Badger, the vainglorious Toad, and all the other creatures of wood, stream, and field who populate this much-loved story.
This month, the story continues as Mole, impatient to make the acquaintance of Badger, sets off to find his house…in the depths of the Wild Wood!
Big People may join us in Tinyville, or repose in comfort at the Oxbridge Library in Caledon Oxbridge

The Awakening (1899) - Kate Chopin
Tue, March 10, 6pm - 7pm
Caledon Library & Welcome Centre, Caledon Victoria City http://slurl.com/secondlife/Caledon%20Victoria%20City/160/117/23
In the final work of this Series, we consider The Awakening, a novel that critics have found both elating and sobering. Chopin's contemporaries both condemned it for its boldness of theme, and praised it for its literary excellence. Sometimes hailed as a fore-runner of feminist novels of self discovery, the story of Edna Pontellier's rebellion against the roles and presumptions that confine her is a finely-drawn depiction of the dilemmas and tension facing the individual at the very end of the 19th century.
The Sense of Self in 19th century literature - a discussion series at the Caledon Library, led by Kghia Gherardi
Tuesdays, once a month, 6-7 pm SLT
As exploration, industrialization and colonization expanded during the nineteenth century, the way the individual viewed his and her role within this world also altered. This literature series will look at how the individual defines himself or herself, how societies react to these changes, and how the evolving sense of self succeeds and fails. The readings will included essays by Ralph Waldo Emerson, poetry by Walt Whitman, and fiction by Robert Louis Stevenson, Oscar Wilde, and Kate Chopin.
