DESCRIPTION:What do you really know about drag? Join us for an exciting (and enlightening) evening as the Pierson Library proudly presents a special performance featuring two incredible Vermont drag artists: Rhedd Rhumm and Miss Chekova.

SUMMARY:Monday Morning Book Club: The Art Thief
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of The Art Thief\, a fascinating true-crime narrative by Michael Finkel. The book tells the story of Stéphane Breitwieser\, the world’s most prolific art thief\, who carried out over 200 heists across Europe. Unlike most thieves\, Breitwieser stole for the pure love of art\, keeping his treasures hidden away to admire rather than sell. With a remarkable ability to bypass security systems\, Breitwieser’s audacious heists are a glimpse into the world of obsession\, crime\, and the desire to possess beauty at any cost. Copies of the book are available at the front desk\, and new members are welcome!
