On Saturday, August 26 from noon-1:30 pm at the Plumb Library in Rochester, former New Bedford mayor John K. Bullard will be presenting his new book from Spinner Publications, Hometown: A Memoir. In Hometown, a deeply moving and thoughtful memoir, Bullard weaves a tale of a family legacy intertwined with the pitfalls and promise of New Bedford, a storied Massachusetts seaport whose past and future can be found in every small American city struggling to survive and thrive. Bullard’s story—and his sense of hometown—as he rises from a local to federal leader becomes more sophisticated but never loses sight of the importance of extending a helping hand and giving back to the community. Come join us as Bullard reads from his new memoir, followed by a signing. Books will be available for sale (cash or check only, please.) Please register for this free event through our online Events Calendar. Thank you to the Friends of Plumb Library for sponsoring this event.
