Author Talks & Books

Looking for a thought-provoking talk or a book reading by a new author? We’ve got you covered with a lively selection of speakers all year round. Whether you’re interested in local issues like coastal resiliency or want something artsy like a poetry reading or a conversation with an author, you’ll find it here and be in good company. 

We are proud to participate in Mass Cultural Council’s Card to Culture program in collaboration with the Department of Transitional Assistance, the Department of Public Health’s WIC Nutrition Program, the Massachusetts Health Connector, and hundreds of cultural organizations across Massachusetts by making cultural programming accessible to those for whom cost is a participation barrier.
