Fairfield gets into the reading spirit in March with the "One Book One Town" with "The Watch That Ends the Night: Voices from the Titanic," according to a statement.

"Thirty lively and varied lectures, programs and activities are offered for all ages as we discuss the book and commemorate the 100^th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic," the statement said.

"The One Book One Town program will culminate with a visit from 'The Watch That Ends the Night' author Allan Wolf" at 7 p.m. March 26, at the Regina A. Quick Center, Fairfield University, the statement said.

Wolf is a writer, poet, educator and dynamic performer, the statement said. "He is sure to bring the voices of the Titanic to us as vividly in person as he has in his remarkable novel," the statement said.

"Copies of the book have been flying off the shelves of the Libraries, and are also available for purchase at the Fairfield University Bookstore," the statement said

The Fairfield Public Library’s 2012 One Book One Town program is sponsored by community partners: Pequot Library, Fairfield Museum and History Center, Fairfield Public Schools, Fairfield University and Fairfield University Bookstore.

All programs at the Fairfield Public Library and for One Book One Town are free. For more information visit www.fairfieldpubliclibrary.org, or call 203-256-3160.
