Harford County Public Library's One Maryland One Book Virtual Author Visit

Description

Harford County Public Library will host New York Times best-selling author Lisa See, the 2020 One Maryland One Book author of "The Island Sea of Women," during a virtual event October 7 at 2 p.m. The event, organized by Maryland Humanities, is one of six virtual stops for the author in Maryland.
 
The October 7 One Maryland One Book event is free of charge, and advanced registration is required at bit.ly/2F6cUuy.  After registering, participants will receive an event link and will be entered in a drawing for teas and snacks from Jeju Island.
 
During the virtual event, See will discuss her book about the complex, decades-long friendship between two women who are members of an all-female diving collective on the Korean island of Jeju. The book follows their journey from the Japanese occupation in the 1930s through the 21st century. Mary Hastler, Harford County Public Library CEO, will be in conversation with the author, and there will be a Q&A session after the discussion.
