NOVEMBER BOOK SELECTION The Goldfinch
Building A Better BART
By Donna Tartt
Tuesday, December 9, 10:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m.
Tartt’s long-awaited third novel, The Goldfinch, was published in 2013. The plot centers on a young boy in New York City whose mother is killed in an accident. Alone and determined to avoid being taken in by the city as an orphan, Theo scrambles between nights in friends’ apartments and on the city streets. He becomes enthralled by a small, mysteriously captivating painting of a goldfinch, which reminds him of his mother, and which soon draws him into the art underworld. (Meets Nov 18)
Location: Danville Senior Center, Meeting Room Presenter: Director Gail Murray
“BART… and you’re there.” It’s no surprise that traffic becomes gridlocked when BART trains are not running. That point was made painfully clear during two BART strikes in 2013 - both of which curtailed the commute for millions of drivers in the Bay Area. But did you know that there’s another significant issue the media is not talking about, which could have an even greater impact for Bay Area commuters if Bart workers were to strike again? Join Gail Murray, one of BART’s nine elected members in the agency’s Board of Directors, for a sneak peek behind the scenes on what it takes to run BART and keep traffic moving in the decades to come.
