Made It: Author Talk with Bernie Mulligan; East Providence Historical Society and Weaver Library

The Weaver Library and the East Providence Historical Society collaborate once again to bring a special program to the community on Monday, April 23, 2018 at 7pm.  Based on the book Made It by East Providence native Bernie Mulligan, the program highlights an extraordinary, local story that also captures history and lives shaped by World War II, immigration to America, the Rhode Island polio outbreak of early 1955, and the political turmoil of the 60’s and 70’s.  On a lighter note, those who remember collecting Green Stamps won’t want to miss how 6000 books of S & H Green Stamps figure into the tale.

The Mulligans lived on Ruth Avenue in the Phillipsdale section of the city. As Made It is also a story of the character and heart of a neighborhood, the Historical Society will set the scene with a brief slide show of the Phillipsdale area. 

Light refreshments will be served at 6:30pm. Mr. Mulligan will begin his talk at 7pm.  Books will be available for purchase and signing. This program is free and open to all. Questions?  Call the library at 401-434-2453.

Weaver Library is located at 41 Grove Avenue, East Providence, RI 02914.
