Plattsburgh Public Library, 2nd Floor Gallery.

Each November, the Old Forge Library hosts an Author’s Visit for the public and students from area schools. This year’s program features author Howard Frank Mosher. It is free and open to the public. Grades 9-11 Town of Webb High School Students will be attending as well as members of the Library’s Book Groups.
Mosher is the author of ten novels and a travel memoir and his latest book, The Great Northern Express, which is both a chronicle of his recent 100-city book tour across America and a reflection on his development as a writer. Much of his fiction takes place in the mid-20th century and all of it is set in the Vermont’s fabled Northeast Kingdom, a region loosely defined by the three counties in the northeastern corner of the state (Essex, Orleans, and Caledonia) His characters are often quirky, reflecting the distinctive peculiarities of the region's reserved residents.
