Bookmarks: What the Lady Wants
Friday, May 19, 2:00 pm
Library Meeting Room
Patricia Klewer will review What the Lady Wants: A Novel of Marshall Field and the Gilded Age by Renee Rosen. In late-nineteenth-century Chicago, visionary retail tycoon Marshall Field made his fortune wooing women customers with his famous motto: “Give the lady what she wants.” His legendary charm also won the heart of socialite Delia Spencer and led to an infamous love affair. The night of the Great Fire, as seventeen-year-old Delia watches the flames rise and consume what was the pioneer town of Chicago, she can’t imagine how much her life, her city, and her whole world are about to change. Nor can she guess that the agent of that change will not simply be the fire, but more so the man she meets that night. The program will also be offered at the Westchester Township Historical Museum on Thursday, May 18 at 2:00pm.

Mo Javi in Concert
Mo Javi in Concert, 2:00 pm
Event Location
Celebrate National Music Month with a performance by Mo Javi. Mo is a Chicago based fiddler, screenwriter, actor and entrepreneur with a passion for love and kindness. Classically trained and with 12 years of experience, Mo can read and write music, improvise, and play by ear. His skills cover all genres, but he specializes in Classical and Folk music. He describes his style as "baroque folk music," crediting composers like Bach and Mozart as his inspirations, which most certainly translates in his music. He has been featured on Chicago television and recently released his first single recording. Join us in welcoming a true talent and music visionary!
