Branch Program

Author Lin Haire-Sargeant

Tuesday, November 12 at 7 pm

Via Zoom

We are delighted to welcome author Lin Haire-Sargeant for our branch presentation on Tuesday, November 12 at 7pm. Lin Haire-Sargeant is an Assistant Professor of Writing at Mass College of Art. She is also a playwright and involved in theater.

 In her most recent book, Who is Jo March?; the protagonist disguises herself as a male soldier and runs off with neighbor, Laurie to connect with her father, Bronson, a Chaplain in the Civil War. Depicting tenacity and a willful spirit, she describes their journey. Lin, family and friends will narrate from favorite chapters and passages in the book.

For Zoom link, contact Hollie Bagley or Lynn Howard.
