The library has partnered with the Virtual Programming Consortium to bring you a Live Virtual Author Event with Chris Bohjalian.

Join us either from home or in a group setting at the library, followed by discussion, on October 27th, at 6:30pm. Bohjalian will discuss his most recent novel, Hour of the Witch, “a rich and terrifying story… A grab-you-by-the-throat suspense read that both historical fiction fans and thriller lovers will devour” (Real Simple). Please register online to attend either in person or from home.

Chris A. Bohjalian is an Armenian-American novelist and the author of 20 novels, including Midwives, The Sandcastle Girls, The Guest Room, and The Flight Attendant. The Flight Attendant has been made into a currently running series on HBO Max.

A misanthropic matriarch leaves her eccentric family in crisis when she mysteriously disappears in this “whip-smart and divinely funny” novel that inspired the movie starring Cate Blanchett (New York Times).

Join us November 18, at 5:30pm as we discuss Where’d You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple then watch the movie inspired by the book. This promises to be a fun discussion. Request your copy of the book at the library desk.
