Batavia Depot Museum Director Kate Garrett presents "Over My Dead Body" by Greg Melville. Bring a lunch (or purchase at Flyleaf Bakery Cafe) to enjoy during the program.
Journalist Greg Melville visits local cemeteries wherever he travels. In this book, he invites readers to join him. From colonists; hasty burials to the leisure parks that inspired the Transcendentalists, Melville sees cemeteries as windows to understanding American history. Kate Garrett, Batavia resident and Director of the Batavia Depot Museum, is a lifelong learner who feels about libraries the way Melville feels about cemeteries.
The Library is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Batavia Avenue (IL-31) and Wilson Street (the main east-west street through town).
