The Friends of Schenectady County Public Library will host an evening with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Elizabeth Strout on Wednesday, November 12 at 6:30 p.m. at the GE Theatre at Proctors in Schenectady, New York.

Known for the widely acclaimed “Olive Kitteridge” and “My Name is Lucy Barton,” Strout has captivated readers worldwide with her deeply moving stories of ordinary lives told with extraordinary grace. At the event, Strout will discuss her writing process, the themes that shape her work, and the beloved characters that continue to resonate with readers. Open Door Bookstore will be at the event selling copies of Strout’s books.

Strout’s latest, “Tell Me Everything,” returns to the town of Crosby, Maine, and to many of Strout’s beloved characters as they deal with a shocking crime in their midst, forge new friendships, and make difficult decisions about love.

    David Gessner's book "Return of the Osprey: A season of Flight and Wonder" celebrates 25 years with a special 25th anniversary edition
    Joe Donahue
    The Osprey hailed by Roger Tory Peterson as the symbol of the New England Coast, all but vanished during the 1950s and 60s because of the ravages of DDT. In the next few decades, however, the birds returned, slowly at first and then in a rush. Now writing with passion, humor, and reverence for the natural world, David Gessner interweaves the stories of the nesting Osprey pairs he observed with his own readjustment to life on the windblown, beautiful, and increasingly developed landscape he knew as a child. The book is a season of flight and wonder. The name of the book is “Return of the Osprey: A season of Flight and Wonder.” It is 25 years old and has a very special 25th edition out.
