The Friends of the Walpole Town Library have received a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities Council to sponsor humorist and author Rebecca Rule as the guest speaker at their potluck dinner to be held at 6:00 pm Wednesday, September 30, upstairs in the Walpole Town Hall.  Rule's subject will be "Live Free and Eat Pie!"

     Rule is well known on the Humanities circuit as a master of Yankee Humor with jokes and stories collected from years of small-town gatherings in and around New Hampshire.  Her storytelling style is reminiscent of "Bert and I' and often incorporates audience participation.

     The potluck dinner is the Friends' kick-off for a series of entertaining and thought-provoking monthly programs being scheduled by the Friends in partnership with the Humanities Council.  The remainder of the programs will take place at the Walpole library on Main Street at 7:00 pm on the 2nd Wednesday each month from October through April, except December.

     All programs are free and open to the public.  For more information about the Walpole programs call Judy Shumway at 603-756-3664.  For information about the New Hampshire Humanities Council in Concord call 603-224-4071.
