National Arts &
Humanities Month (NAHM) is a coast-to-coast collective recognition of the
importance of culture in America, organized by Americans for the Arts and
taking place this year in October. It is designed to encourage all Americans to
explore new facets of the arts and humanities in their lives, and to begin a
lifelong habit of active participation in the arts.
The Ridgefield Library is
here to help you with your journey, whether you are an elementary school
student who wants to share your love of all things magical in our Harry Potter
Club or a senior citizen who wants to learn more about Wilfred Owen or T.S.
Eliot with our monthly poetry discussions. To start, The Big Read this month
and next offers an exciting line-up of arts and humanities events at the
Library and other venues around town. We also have a full schedule of author
talks, art exhibits, writers’ networking groups, book discussions, concerts and
more. You can browse the special new reading rooms for Literature and the Fine
& Performing Arts or take advantage of thematic displays and booklists prepared
by our staff to add context and background to events being hosted by
Ridgefield’s many fine cultural organizations.
