HAMMOND – Eric Johnson and Catherine Tijerino, both Southeastern librarians, will
present a program based on their new book, “Hammond,” to replace food writer Poppy
Tooker, originally scheduled as the featured speaker at the fifth annual “Tea with
Friends.” Johnson and Tijerino will instead discuss their book, which contains over
200 historical photographs of the city from its beginnings to 1950.
Selected photographs will be shown as the authors relate the interesting stories
they unearthed while researching the book. Copies will be available for signing after
the event.
The Members’ Tea takes place on Saturday, March 5, at 2 p.m. at Sims Memorial
Library at Southeastern. Guests will enjoy a variety of teas and a selection of delectable
sandwiches and desserts.
The tea is free to members of the Friends of Sims Library. Non-members may reserve
a seat for $25, which includes a one-year individual membership in FOSL. Unlimited
mimosas will also be available for $10.
Reservations must be received by Tuesday, March 1. To reserve a seat, or to
find out more about FOSL, please call Janie Branham at 985-549-2186 or email FOSL@southeastern.edu.
