The Vineyard Haven library will celebrate the release of Professor Philip Weinstein’s new book of essays, “Time’s Bounty: Rethinking Aging,” with a reading and reception at 5 pm on Thursday, Nov. 13.
The dominant drive in our culture is to celebrate youth. Even as Americans live longer, most consider old age with dread. It’s time to challenge these assumptions. “Time’s Bounty” is a bracing view of the surprises that lie ahead, as age enkindles in us new expressions of life.
The event will be held at the Martha’s Vineyard Hebrew Center, 130 Center St. in Vineyard Haven. Refreshments will be provided by the Friends of the Library, with books available for onsite purchase through Bunch of Grapes Bookstore. Free and open to the public. No registration required. For more information, reach out to vhpl_programs@clamsnet.org or 508-696-4211.
