Dictionary Reading Marathon - The "L" Words


VIDEO with sound (80 sec.): In celebration of Noah Webster's 250th birthday, the library participated in a Dictionary Reading Marathon initiated by the Noah Webster House and Historical Society in West Hartford. Members of the library staff - with the help of library's mascot Little Noah - read the "L" words from Webster's original dictionary, 1828. Here is a short video clip capturing this moment in time, September, 2008. [Special thanks to Brigid Fox, Jane Breen, and all our readers.]
