IT'S A GREAT WAY TO GET OUT
OF THE RAIN AND LEARN ABOUT AN
AUTHOR.
DEENA IS LIVE AT THE
ROCKLAND LIBRARY CELEBRATING
ERNEST HEMINGWAY.
THAT'S RIGHT.
GOOD MORNING.
THIS REALLY IS SO FASCINATING.
THE STORY OF ERNEST HEMINGWAY.
I FOUND OUT A FUN FACT, 23
SUITCASES HE CARRIED TO GO TO
ITALY.
HE HAD THAT MANY BOOKS.
HE ALSO HAD SOME SUITS.
THIS WAS A MAN WHO LEFT A GIANT
LEGACY ON OUR HISTORY IN
AMERICA WHEN IT COMES TO
LITERATURE.
TONY IS HERE, HE'S A SENIOR
LIBRARIAN.
THERE IS AN EXHIBIT GOING ON
FEATURING ALL THINGS ERNEST
HEMINGWAY.
LET'S TALK ABOUT WHO HE WAS.
HE WAS AN AMERICAN AUTHOR,
HE WAS A PROGENITOR OF MARK
TWAIN.
IS A SUCCESSFUL WRITER AND WE
ENJOY HIS WORKS.
WE STILL HAVE THEM IN THE
LIBRARY.
THERE ARE MANY OFFERS THAT ARE
BEING INFLUENCED BY HIM.
THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN HIS
120th BIRTHDAY.
HE WROTE ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS
IN HIS OWN LIFE.
RIGHT, HE IS AN INTERESTING
PERSON AND HE HAD AN EXCITING
LIFE ALL OVER EUROPE.
HE WAS IN CUBA.
HE HAD A CABIN IN NORTHERN
MICHIGAN THAT I VISITED.
HE WAS A HUNTER AND WOODSMAN.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE PICTURES OF
HIM AS A CARTOON WITH HIS HAND
HOLDING AROSE.
IT SAYS A LOT ABOUT THE
DELICACY OF HIS WORK.
ABSOLUTELY.
AT THE LIBRARY THEY WILL HAVE A
LOT OF THE BOOKS OUT ON DISPLAY
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO
REALLY SHARE HIS WORK AND THE
DIFFERENT STORIES HE WAS ABLE
TO WRITE.
I WANT TO COME OVER TO SHERRY,

CHARGE OF PUTTING TOGETHER THE
EVENTS THAT FEATURE ERNEST
HEMINGWAY.
