Author talk at library

Tony Horwitz, author of “Midnight Rising: John Brown and the Raid That Sparked the Civil War,” will speak Sunday at 4 p.m. in the Paul Pratt Memorial Library. Part of the popular Sunday author series, the talk will be followed by a wine and cheese reception, a conversation with Horwitz, and book signings. Admission is free but seating is limited, so tickets are required. They can be reserved by calling the library at 781-383-1348 or picked up at the library, Buttonwood Books, the South Shore Art Center, or the Cohasset Historical Society. - Johanna Seltz
