Book Shopping for CityLab


At the Friends of the Worcester Public Library book sale today, Dr. Conroy went shopping for books he will donate to CityLab.  For $4, he got:
  • William Bradford, Of Plimouth Plantation, 1620-1647
  • Frank A. Brown and Beverly K Goodale, West Boylston
  • William O. Hultgren et. Al., Worcester 1880-1920
  • Mary P. Ryan, Cradle of the Middle Class:  The Family in Onieda County, New York, 1790-1865
  • Mary P. Ryan, Women in Public:  Between Banners and Ballots, 1825-1880
  • Cary D. Wintz, Black Culture and the Harlem Renaissance
  • James Sterling Young, The Washington Community, 1800-1828



For an additional $16 in the regular WPL book store, he bought:
  • Nicholas Gage, A Place for Us (a memoir of a Greek immigrant who grew up in Worcester)
  • J. Joseph Huthmacher, Massachusetts People and Politics
  • Rae MacCollum Spencer, The Gift of Imaginative Leadership, a biography of Harry Galpin Stoddard, Affectionately called “Mr. Worcester”
  • Ronald Story, The Forging of an Aristocracy:  Harvard & the Boston Upper Class, 1800-1870

 The lesson from this?  Buy books at the WPL book store where you can save some cash and support a good cause.
