Staff with the Roseburg Public Library will have an online Facebook Live event with Oregon author Pat Sherman, on Thursday January 6th.

Sherman will discuss her new book, “American Tapestry: Portrait of a ‘Middling’ Family, 1746-1934”. The author’s website said the book is about a family who exemplifies the type of people who served with foundational democratic institutions and responded to “challenges that embody the universal experience of the human condition”.

Copies of the book are available through the library. Residents can place holds on a physical copy, by logging onto the library’s online catalog at: https://roseburg.biblionix.com/catalog/

Sherman’s virtual visit will be livestreamed on the library’s Facebook account beginning at 6:00 p.m.

Speaker questions can be submitted before the event to: lrathe@cityofroseburg.org or by calling 492-7052. Viewers with Facebook accounts can post questions during the event by commenting on the livestream.
