Book Discussion

Join us for an author reception with apple cider and cookies from 6 to 6:30 pm and an author talk at 6:30 pm. Books will be for sale by Inkfish Books and the author will be signing copies. 

In the summer of 2006, journalist Peter Shinkle first heard that his great-uncle Bobby, also known as Robert Cutler, had a secret that could have brought down the Eisenhower presidency: he was gay, at a time when gay people were barred from employment by the federal government. 

Join us as we welcome the author of this year's Reading Across Rhode Island selection, Elizabeth Rush. A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, Rising: Dispatches from the New American Shore is her highly original work of lyric reportage and a haunting meditation on how to let go of the places we love. 

The RI Coalition of Library Advocates (COLA) is hosting an author panel as a membership drive and fundraiser. This event is co-sponsored by Barrington Public Library.

 “Launching Young Lives: Why Authors Love Libraries.”
