Due to inclement weather, this event originally scheduled for January 25 has been rescheduled for February 1.

The goal of Preservation Pages is to bring people together to discuss books that relate to themes of preservation: place, design, urban planning, and other topics that we at Greater Portland Landmarks think about every single day. Each gathering will be in the greater Portland area in a site that shares some connection with the content of the book for a local context. The club is free to join and there’s no commitment, just come to the ones you’re interested in!

This month we’re reading Palaces for the People by Eric Klinenberg. Social infrastructure has long played a huge role in how communities function and engage. Klinenberg lays out a framework for how we can use them to overcome the polarization and alienation facing us today.

The event will be held in the library at Mechanics’ Hall.
