Whitridge Room
For all of her nine years, fragile Elizabeth Ann has heard her aunts refer in whispers to "those horrid Putney cousins." But when her aunts can no longer care for her, Elizabeth Ann embarks on a journey of self-discovery as she leaves her sheltered city life to live on a farm in Vermont with these distant relatives.
Mothers and their daughters in grades 3-5 are invited to join Children's Library staff for a discussion of Dorothy Canfield Fisher's classic
Understood Betsy, which has delighted readers since it was first published in 1917. Copies of the book are available for registrants.
