From Ashaway Free Library:

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 are $100 and include food, a drink ticket, 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 sponsor, Washington Trust.
