A Cherished Neighborhood Institution Since 1871
| Stewart O’Nan at the Carriage Barn
A Fundraiser to Support the Library’s Collections, Programs, and Services Saturday June 13 6-8PM |
| Please join us for a special evening with bestselling and award-winning author Stewart O’Nan to benefit the Ashaway Free Library. We’ll discuss his newest novel, Evensong, and his 2022 thriller, Ocean State, which is set in Ashaway!
The evening will kick off with a reception, featuring food, drinks, and an opportunity to explore our wonderfully unique venue, a private carriage museum in North Stonington, CT. An author chat, during which Stewart O’Nan will be in conversation with library director Heather Field, will follow. Tickets (available HERE) are $100 and include food and beverages, access to the carriage museum, the author visit, and a hardcover copy of Evensong. All proceeds will support the Ashaway Free Library’s collections, services, and programs.
We expect tickets for this extraordinary opportunity to sell out. Be sure to grab yours early to avoid disappointment! Thank you to our generous sponsors: Washington Trust Martin House Books Photo credit: Antone Botelho Photography |
