Video: “Frank Lloyd Wright: A Film by Ken Burns & Lynn Novick”

This riveting documentary produced by PBS chronicles Wright’s groundbreaking architectural triumphs (including Falling

Water, Taliesin, and the Guggenheim Museum) and exposes the personal tragedies that shaped his legacy.  Take a powerful, ambitious man and an unconventional mother of two. Add a clandestine romance and a suburb-shaking scandal, and top it all off with a shocking conclusion and you’ve got a great read. Join us this February in reading “Loving Frank” by Nancy Horan, our selection for Palatine Public Library  District’s 8th annual One Book, One District program!opies of “Loving Frank”
