I See You've Called in Dead
by John Kenney
Thursday, July 9, 5 PM ET
Click to Register
Obituary writer Bud Stanley isn't really living his best life. He's fallen into a funk after a divorce. (She left him for another man, who, in fairness, was far more interesting.) He's not doing his job well. He's given up on dating. And he's about to be fired for accidentally publishing his own obituary one mildly drunken night (though technically the company can't legally fire a dead person). As Bud awaits his fate at work, he does the only logical thing: He goes to the wakes and funerals of total strangers to learn how to live again.

Divided We Stand
by Bill Newcott
Thursday, July 23, 5 PM ET
Click to Register
This collaborative program by the Lewes Public Library, Rehoboth Beach Writers Guild, and Browseabout Books is part of a series in observation of America250, which commemorates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, marking America’s Semiquincentennial.
In Divided We Stand, Bill Newcott - longtime senior editor/writer for National Geographic and AARP the Magazine - discovers a country that is not what we see in our daily doom scrolls. While Americans may well face many irreconcilable differences, when they actually come face-to-face with their political opposites, their first instinct is to find common ground.
