To celebrate the Newton Free Library’s 150th anniversary, join the Library and Historic Newton for a tour that takes you to places where writers including Robert Frost and Harriet Beecher Stowe visited Newton. Learn more about authors who studied literature at Newton’s high schools, and see the work of contemporary poets stamped into the sidewalk through the city’s Make Poetry Concrete program. You’ll hear a few poems read aloud, too. This tour will be led by author Clara Silverstein.

The total length of the tour is approximately two miles--we recommend wearing comfortable shoes and bringing a water bottle. The rain date for this walking tour is Thursday, September 11 at 6pm. Registration is required for this program, and the meeting location will be shared with all registrants. In case of inclement weather, registrants will be notified via email. We expect that this program will have a wait list. If you register for the tour, we are counting on you to attend. If you sign up, but are unable to attend, please contact the Library so we can open up a spot on the wait list.
