Author Letty Haynes
A book signing event to celebrate the recent release of Inlet resident Letty Haynes’ latest book, Memories of Inlet Common School, will be held at the Inlet Public Library on Friday, May 10 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The book highlights the history of the Inlet Common School from the day of its inception in the first decade of the 1900’s to present.
Though there is some uncertainty as to the actual year of the school’s start-up (a plaque in front of the school proclaims it was built in 1906, however conflicting evidence shows that it was operating in 1903, or as early as the fall of 1901) the Inlet Common School remains true to its beginnings as a one-room schoolhouse.
Haynes, who taught at the school for 20 years, chronicles the history of the unique school through pictures and personal reminisces.
Memories of Inlet Common School is the second book authored by Haynes. Her book, Memories of Inlet, was published in 2005 through North Country Books.
All are welcome to the book signing. Refreshments will be served.
Memories of Inlet Common School will soon be available for purchase at area bookstores, including The Adirondack Reader of Inlet.
