There were a number of interesting book-related items in my
email this morning:
- Rebecca Courser and the Warner Historical Society will be presenting a slideshow this Friday Night, May 18th at 7pm at MainStreet BookEnds. It’s titled...”A Place to Rest Your Head; Warner’s Taverns, Inns, Hotels & Boarding Houses”. There were a lot of them back in the days before I-89 was constructed...when there was a ski area in town along with several active train stations that linked Warner with Boston! These events are always well attended. Please, plan on arriving 10-15 minutes early to hope for a choice seat! This is a free event. All donations will be graciously accepted by the Warner Historical Society to help pay for more photograph preservation.
- NH State Council on the Arts Fellowship recipient Kevin King, will hold a public reading of his poetry at Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter. The reading will take place Tuesday, May 22 at 7:00 p.m. in the Kaplanoff Periodicals Room of the library. Refreshments will follow the reading.
