Waterstone at Wellesley and the Wellesley Council on Aging have joined forces to present a Senior Art Exhibit at the Wellesley Free Library. Stop in and view the works of nearly 50 artists across multiple mediums, all on exhibit in the Wakelin Room and the lobby through June 29. There will be an opening reception on June 4, 2pm – 4pm in the Wakelin Room.

Written by Wellesley College’s own Nora Ephron (Class of 1962, died 2012), the story follows the life of Sally (Meg Ryan) and Harry (Billy Crystal) from the time they meet while sharing a cross-country drive to start professional lives in New York City through twelve years of chance encounters, and about as many hairstyles for Ryan.

A graduate of Columbia College, Coes was awarded the Bennett Cerf Memorial Prize for Fiction. Free and open to the public.
