Literature
Book group: The Other Einstein by Marie Benedict
Thursday at 7:30 PM – 9 PM
Location: 126 Greenwood Avenue, Bethel, CT
“The Other Einstein takes you into Mileva’s heart, mind, and study as she tries to forge a place for herself in a scientific world dominated by men.”-Bustle
In the tradition of The Paris Wife and Mrs. Poe, The Other Einstein offers us a window into a brilliant, fascinating woman whose light was lost in Einstein’s enormous shadow. It is the story of Einstein’s wife, a brilliant physicist in her own right, whose contribution to the special theory of relativity is hotly debated and may have been inspired by her own profound and very personal insight.
Our is an open Book Group- join us!

Film
And You Thought You Knew Classic Movies! with John DiLeo
Jan. 21, Sunday at 2 PM – 5 PM
Location: The Palace Danbury, 165 Main Street, Danbury, CT
Tickets Available: thepalacedanbury.com
This January join us at Danbury’s Palace Theatre when film historian John DiLeo presents AND YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW CLASSIC MOVIES: A Film Journey Through Hollywood and America. Byrd’s Books is the bookseller for John’s books at this wonderful multimedia event!
John DiLeo presents a fun, informative and idiosyncratic history of Hollywood’s Golden Age, while telling a parallel story of America itself. From the Depression to World War II to the Cold War to the sexual revolution, DiLeo presents a vision of just how the movies traveled from 1930 to 1970.
