   Double bill — Celebrate Women’s History Month at the Robbinsville branch of the Mercer County Library System at 2 p.m. with two unique American short stories performed by actress Michèle LaRue. Tales Well Told is a pairing of stories that explore two dilemmas that women still face. Kate Chopin’s poignant “A Pair of Silk Stockings” addresses the first: who comes first – me or my family?, as a widow takes an impromptu holiday from home. Edna Ferber’s “Representing T. A. Buck” confronts the other: where do I belong – at home or at work?, as a traveling saleswoman longs for life off the road.
