Date of Event: July 11, 2009

Posted: July 9, 2009

The Denison Museum Book Club takes a behind-the-scenes look at the culture of museums with a discussion of its summer selection, “The Bowl is Already Broken,” at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 11, at the Buxton Inn (313 E. Broadway).

The novel, written by Mary Kay Zuravleff, affectionately explores the bickering and scheming underworld of museums. Zuravleff, who currently teaches at George Mason University, also spent nine years as an editor for the Smithsonian Institution. The Denison Museum Book Club is free and open to the public and interested individuals may join at any time. Light refreshments will be served; reservations are encouraged.

Some copies of “The Bowl is Already Broken” are available at the Granville Public Library, and the Denison Museum is lending out limited free copies on a first-come, first-served basis. To make a reservation or to learn more about the club, call Amber Schott at 740-587-6225 or send e-mail to schotta@denison.edu.
