Considering that William Shakespeare is one of the most influential authors in English literature, remarkably little is known about him. It would be incredibly difficult to steal his identity!
For more informaton about Shakespeare and his cultural significance, see the following titles, some of which are on display at Palisades Library.
Thank you to all who participated in the second annual Palisades Winter Readathon!
The Readathon started on January 11 and ended on February 28, with children from 24 different schools reporting 962 hours of reading time! We hope that everyone had as much fun as we did, and that you'll join us for future programs at Palisades Library.
Keep on reading, and we'll see you at the library!
