What do Maureen Corrigan, Pat Corrigan and Kelly Corrigan
have in common? As far as I know, these
three extraordinary women have no family ties, but together they demonstrate
the quality and range of the Library’s adult programming.
Maureen Corrigan, book reviewer for NPR’s Fresh Air, came to
Ridgefield in 2014 to share the insights in her newly released book “So We Read
On: How the Great Gatsby Came to Be and Why It Endures,” adding a fresh and timely
element to our community-wide Big Read that fall of the Fitzgerald
masterpiece.
Pat Corrigan does not have the nationwide fan base Maureen
enjoys as a radio celebrity, but she has a very loyal following among
Ridgefield Library patrons. A retired high school art teacher from Pawling, NY,
Pat teaches regular crafting and sewing programs that fill up as soon as they
are announced.
Acclaimed speaker, best-selling author and cancer survivor
Kelly Corrigan will be appearing at the Ridgefield Playhouse on March 8th
as part of the Library’s Noreen L. Papa – Mothers: Live your Life health and
wellness series. Admission is free but registration at the Library’s website at www.ridgefieldlibrary.org is
required for this inspirational presentation by our latest Corrigan connection.
