Photos from Kerouac Corner Dedication Ceremony, March 7, 2015

Here are a few photos from yesterday’s Kerouac Corner dedication. Thank you to all who made the event a success (including all the speakers, volunteers, honored guests, and pastry chefs at the Bridge St. Market Basket—the birthday cake was delicious!) Oh, and Owl Stamp company on Middle Street, who made a beautiful plaque to honor Jack Kerouac. More photos of the event and the corner are available on the Library’s Flickr page.
