Pet lovers are passionate people. On Nov. 9, Katherine Grier, a professor of material culture studies in the Winterthur Program in Early American Culture, will explain where some of that passion comes from, and how and why pets are so important in our lives.
Grier has written "Pets in America: A History," and in her lecture at Hagley's Library building she'll talk about the marketing of pets and pet products, give attendees a brief history of pets in America, and explore the role the pet industry plays in our culture. After the lecture, she will take questions and sign copies of her book, which will be available for purchase.
The 7 p.m. lecture is free and open to the public, but reservations are requested. Call 658-2400. To get to the library, enter via Hagley's Buck Road East entrance off Del. 100.
