The public can learn why Emily Post’s name is synomous with proper manners from her very own relative.
The Santa Monica Public Library welcomes etiquette expert and best-selling author Peggy Post to the Main Library’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Auditorium on Monday, Nov. 6, from 7 to 9 p.m. Spokesperson for the Emily Post Institute and great-grandaughter-in-law of Emily Post, Peggy Post is the author of many books on good manners and proper etiquette. Post will join the library to discuss her latest book, “Excuse me, but I was Next... How to Handle the Top 100 Manners Dilemmas.” Learn how to deal with everyday, modern annoyances such as cell phone yakkers, line cutters and movie chatters, and much more.
A book sale and signing will follow. This is a free program with limited seating. Tickets will be available one hour prior to the event. For more information, contact the Santa Monica Public Library at (310) 458-8600 or Web site at www.smpl.org. Crafty holiday ways
