January Topic: Famous Court Cases (1850-1950)

January Meeting Date: Wednesday, January 8, 2025 from 7:00 to 8:45 PM – Milano Center (201 W Foster St) – In-person Meeting

Please register online for the January meeting! Note the adjustment to the second Wednesday due to New Years!

The topic for January is Famous Court Cases (1850-1950).  It was during the late 19th century that the term “trial of the century” came about when describing sensational, highly publicized court cases.  Please choose a case of your liking within the date range of 1850 to 1950, it may be of civil or criminal nature.  If you need help in finding a famous case, check out this selection of books which are just a sampling of what is available through the NOBLE library system. The library also has a wide source of journals at your fingertips through our Digital Library!

Everyone is welcome, whether you read a book and want to share or just want to listen and learn!

During the library’s renovation project, the Milano Center has generously offered us a room for our meeting.  Please check in at the front desk when you arrive; doors will close and be locked by 7:30 PM.

Please be sure to register online for the January meeting using the Library Event Calendar so the library can accommodate all those planning to attend.

If you have questions, please contact Erin at melcirc@noblenet.org or call the library at 781-665-2313.
