“AS I SEE IT”A Musical Performance by

Lois MortonSunday, November 23rd

at 2:30 PM

The Friends of the Library are pleased to bring you this enter-taining program featuring Lois Morton. She is a performing songwriter who has delighted audiences throughout the New York metropolitan area. Her abundant charm and humorous songs of social commen-tary will keep you laughing andf tug at your heartstrings simultaneously. Reinventing herself in retirement, Lois has gone from being an educator and therapist to a singer-songwriter with a rapier wit and a surprisingly contem-porary approach. Her show “As I See It” highlights Lois’ original, often hilarious songs which encourage us to laugh at ourselves. She has released two CDs of original songs – As I See It and 20th Century Girl. Free tickets are avail-able at the Circulation Desk.
