Stephen Puleo to Speak at Westborough Public Library

From WPL: Did you know that many critical documents were secretly relocated from the Library of Congress and hidden away for safekeeping after the attack on Pearl Harbor?

The Westborough Library is pleased to host Stephen Puleo, author of “American Treasures: The Secret Efforts to Save the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Gettysburg Address”, on Monday, March 27, 2017 at 7 p.m.

If you love history, don’t miss this exciting talk which chronicles the creation and subsequent adventures of the documents that have shaped America. As the author says, “They have stood the test of time and today are as relevant and integral to American Democracy as they ever have been …the history of the documents is the history of America – and it is a remarkable history. In an age of cynicism, these documents remind us not only of the promise of America but of the fulfillment of that promise in so many ways.”

Copies of “American Treasures” will be available for purchase ($28.99 plus tax) and autographing at the program. If you would like to purchase a copy, please call the library so we can reserve one for you.

This program is free and open to the public. For more information, call the library at 508-366-3050.
