More Snow
The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend.
We have reports that the roads are very slippery to take care in the evening commute. |

Lenox Library Hosts Bestselling Biographer Sally Bedell Smith - June 26, 2008
LENOX - Bestselling author and historian, Sally Bedell Smith, will discuss “Writing about Big Lives: A Biographer’s Challenge”, on Saturday, July 12, 2008 at 7 p.m. in the Sedgwick Reading Room of the Lenox Library at 18 Main Street. A Contributing Editor at Vanity Fair magazine, Bedell Smith is the acclaimed author of “For Love of Politics – Bill and Hillary Clinton: The White House Years” (Random House, 2007) which explores the complicated partnership of the former First Couple through interviews with scores of Clinton friends and staff members.
Bedell Smith specializes in biographies of high-profile historical personalities, whose lives she has documented in books such as “Grace and Power, The Private World of the Kennedy White House”, “Diana, In Search of Herself”, “The Life of Pamela Churchill Harriman”, and “In All His Glory, The Life and Times of William S. Paley”. Her July 12 presentation at the Lenox Library will reflect on the special challenges of researching and writing factually accurate biographies of famous living people.
Her July 12 lecture will be followed by a wine and cheese reception at the library with the author.
Admission to the lecture and reception is $35 per person. Reservations are suggested as seating is limited and may fill quickly. To pre-register, contact Jenny Rae at the Lenox Library at 413-637-2630 or at jrae@lenoxlib.org. />
The proceeds of this program will benefit the Lenox Library’s many services, programs and activities offered free of charge to adults and children of all ages.
