The Peterborough Town Library, in cooperation with the Monadnock Writers’ Group, invites you to a discussion of Carl Mabbs-Zeno's new novel set in Peterborough.

The Peterborough Town Library, in cooperation with the Monadnock Writers’ Group, invites you to a discussion of a new novel set in Peterborough.  The author will be present to interact with readers and anyone who appreciates the character of our town.  The story centers on that rusty, bouncy pedestrian bridge crossing the Contoocook while the Main Street Bridge and the library were being rebuilt.  The town and its details are non-fiction but the story is populated by made-up citizens you may think you know.  Do not worry about the title, which may take on meaning as the book progresses, even though there is no effort to teach anything about building a bridge.

About Carl Mabbs-Zeno

Carl retired with his wife, Lynda, to Peterborough following 35 years working for the Federal Government, principally as an economist working on foreign assistance. He was on the Board of the 1833 Society which organized funding for the Peterborough library renovation and serves on the Board of the Monadnock Writers’ Group as well as several town committees.  He has previously published five novels.

To get a free PDF version of A Literary Guide to Bridge Construction, just send a request to monadnockwriters@gmail.com.  Paperback versions of the book may be purchased from The Toadstool and will be available at the discounted rate of $20 (cash or check) at the June 22 discussion.
