    Oak Ridge — The Jefferson Township Public Library will present “Duty’s Faithful Child: A Visit with Louisa May Alcott,” at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 12, located at 1301 Weldon Road, Oak Ridge. The setting for the play is the parlor of Orchard House, the Alcott family home in Concord, Mass. While the action begins in 1882, the year of Louisa’s 50th birthday, her thoughts and memories transport her to other times and places in her life. A mono-drama written by Peter R. Nadolny and performed by Jeanne L. Austin, the play will include two brief musical interludes, but no intermission. Austin appears by arrangement with Actors’ Equity Association and HerStory Productions. Reservations are requested for this one-hour program, which is free and open to the public. To register or for more information, call the library at 973-208-6115 or e-mail cobrien@main.morris.org.
