Our new season’s roster features a diverse group of both fiction and non-fiction authors, with subjects to interest everyone. Review the schedule now, mark your calendar and register for these mostly virtual talks. Formats vary, but usually include an interview or presentation and always offer a chance for you to pose questions and engage the author and other participants. In-person talks include refreshments and a book sale & signing. We partner with Eight Cousins Bookshop in Falmouth for sales of all these titles. Contact them directly for virtual talks or advance or post-event sales for in-person talks: https://www.eightcousins.com. Below is the full schedule through June 2025. Please note that some talks are in-person and others virtual on Zoom. In-person talks now require a $5 fee for non-members and advance registration by everyone.
