Proprietor Mike Dater will give a talk and sign copies of his newest book, The Godawful Years: He Came, He Stole, He Wrecked: A Survey of the Bedlam. Compiled in part from Mr. Dater’s cartoons in The New Hampshire Gazette, the book demonstrates the author’s unique talent for expressing horror through humor.

This is an in-person event, and masks are required.

On Wednesday, December 15th at 5 p.m., friends and colleagues will gather in the Reading Room for an informal remembrance of the life of Richard E. Winslow III, who passed away on October 20th. A true gentleman scholar of the old school, Dick was the preeminent Portsmouth historian of his generation, author of seven books and dozens of articles on many subjects. A fixture at the Portsmouth Public Library, Dimond Library, and the Athenaeum for forty years, Dick was a friend and an invaluable resource to anyone who asked for his help.

All are welcome to share a few moments of respect and remembrance for a man who contributed immeasurably to what we know about our history.
