November 29th is Madeleine’s birthday. This year on that day, The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine will be dedicated as Literary Landmark to recognize the church’s connection with Madeleine, who served as the Cathedral librarian for more than 40 years. The event, which is open to the public, is scheduled for 4 p.m. in the Cathedral, followed by Evensong and a reception.
The Literary Landmarks is a program of United for Libraries (formerly Friends of Libraries USA). Other landmarks in New York City include the Algonquin Hotel, The Little Red Lighthouse and Pete’s Tavern.
