TO-DO LIST: It's not going to be playing forever

Filed Under: To-Do List

This year, Charles Dickens turns 200, and accordingly the Free Library of Philadelphia is shining an extra-special light on the delightful young chap. The literary-inclined will be gathering at the Central Branch to discuss the writer’s first big score, The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club. These roundtable discussions will continue throughout the year, with each session looking at a different Dickens piece. If Dickens isn't grim enough for you, head to the Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site to celebrate his 203rd birthday. Dickens: Thu., Jan. 19, 6:30 p.m., Free Library of Philadelphia, Central Branch, 1901 Vine St., 215-686-5322, freelibrary.org; Poe: Thu., Jan. 19, 4:30 p.m., Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site, 532 N. Seventh St., 215-597-8780, nps.gov/edal.
