Norwood Library Hosts Author Barry Van Dusen On Zoom Nov. 22

NORWOOD, MA - The Morrill Memorial Library, in collaboration with the Tewksbury Public Library, will host Barry Van Dusen, recently recognized by the Massachusetts Center for the Book as one of Massachusetts’ must-read authors of the year, on Monday, November 22 at 7 p.m.

Van Dusen will discuss his latest book, “Finding Sanctuary: An Artist Explores the Nature of Mass Audubon,” on Monday, November 22 at 7:00pm on Zoom.

Over the course four and a half years, Van Dusen, a nature artist, visited all 61 of Mass Audubon’s public wildlife sanctuaries, nature centers, and museums, producing drawings and paintings at each location. Follow his travels and share in his adventures — from the islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket to the mountain peaks of the Berkshires. Learn about hatching turtles on Cape Cod, rare orchids in the Connecticut River Valley, and a bear encounter in a western Massachusetts forest. Birders, naturalists, conservationists, gardeners, artists, art appreciators, and all outdoor folks will enjoy this presentation.

Registration for this program is required. Attendees can sign up to attend virtually via the library calendar or by calling the Reference Desk at 781-769-0200 x2.

Thanks to the Tewksbury Library for inviting the Norwood Library to partner.
