Beyond the Book
In 2009, the Friends introduced a program to enhance the city’s Nashua Reads program with Beyond the Book, a presentation by the author of each year’s book. In 2020, the Nashua Reads book is Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford. He’ll be holding a virtual event for the Nashua Public Library on Sunday, October 11, 2020, at 2 pm.
