Wednesday Night Book Discussion

Join us at the Gates Mills Branch Library for a discussion of “How the Irish Saved Civilization: The Untold Story of Ireland's Heroic Role from the Fall of Rome to the Rise of Medieval Europe” by T. Cahill. You may not be aware of how great an influence St. Patrick was on the subsequent history of civilization. Not only did he bring Christianity to Ireland, he instilled a sense of literacy and learning that would create the conditions that allowed Ireland to become "the isle of saints and scholars" -- and thus preserve Western culture while Europe was being overrun by barbarians. Everyone is welcomed to attend the discussion. Call the branch library for more information (440-423-4808).
