Frank Lloyd Wright's Birthday

Frank Lloyd Wright was born 142 years ago on June 8, 1867. The publication of Nancy Horan's novel, Loving Frank (2007) and T. Coraghessan Boyle's The Women (2009) which explored Wright's extramarital affairs and were popular with reading groups, has brought Wright back into the spotlight. Searching the BHPL catalog reveals at least 22 books about Wright's life and works owned by the library.
