Laura Ingalls Wilder: Going West

On Wednesday, October 21, at 7 p.m., the library will host guest speaker Dr. Laura Worthington for a presentation on Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Dr. Janet Worthington has been presenting women and girls from history and literature for over 30 years. In period costume, she speaks as the noted woman and dramatically recounts her life experiences. She then answers questions both as the historic or literary figure and as herself.

In her beloved series of books for young people, Laura Ingalls Wilder portrayed pioneer life as an idyllic adventure, filled with warmth and love. As Laura, Janet Worthington recounts the westward movement and Pa’s consistent desire to find new lands, the hardships the family faced in each new location, and the joys of making a life in the wilderness.

More information on this and other free library events may be found on the Marshall Public Library Facebook page.
