Join us for a year long celebration of Jane Austen’s 250th birthday!

We will be showing North and South, a 4 episode mini series based on the novel by Elizabeth Gaskell. Gaskell’s 1855 is considered to be the first work of Jane Austen fanfiction, as Gaskell was heavily influenced by Pride and Prejudice. An introduction will take place before the screen and a discussion about the series will happen afterwards. Refreshments will be provided.

North and South (2024) is 4 episode TV Show. The episodes will be shown on the following days:

Friday, May 2 @ 6 p.m.: Episodes 1 and 2
Friday, May 9 @ 6 p.m.: Episodes 3 and 4

This event occurs after normal library hours and no other services will be provided.

This event is sponsored by the Friends of the Barbara Rose Johns Farmville-Prince Edward Community Library.
