ROCKPORT — The Rockport Library Foundation and the Rockport Public Library will present an author talk and book signing with author Chris Bohjalian, on Friday, June 17, at 6:30 p.m., at the Rockport Opera House. Tickets are free and may be reserved in advance online. 

Bohjalian is the author of 24 books. His work has been translated into 35 languages and become three movies and an Emmy-nominated TV series. 

An Evening with Chris Bohjalian is sponsored by the Rockport Library Foundation and made possible by the generosity of the many Foundation donors who participated in last year’s programming campaign. Having raised the necessary funds to support the building of the library, the Foundation has now turned its attention to providing programming and activities beyond what the library would be able to provide on its own. Bohjalian is the first speaker in a planned author series, bringing interesting and insightful speakers to the Rockport community. 

Barnswallow Books, of Rockport, will be on hand with his books to sell for the book signing, including copies of his newest titles, The Lioness and Hour of the Witch, plus previous works' such as Midwives and The Flight Attendant.
