**THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED**

Although the threat remains low in Massachusetts and there are no confirmed cases in Tewksbury we continue to monitor closely the emergence of the “coronavirus disease 2019” (COVID-19). At this time, no one knows how severe this outbreak will be. In order to protect all of our visitors and in accordance with the Governor’s State of Emergency, the Town Manager has cancelled all events and uses of the meeting rooms (First Floor and Trustees’ Room on the Second Floor) at the Tewksbury Public Library until further notice. The library is open for all other business and is happy to serve your research, reading, viewing and informational needs.

Author Roseann Sdoia will discuss her book, "Perfect Strangers: Friendship, Strength, and Recovery After Boston's Worst Day." As Roseann waited to watch her friend cross the finish line of the Boston Marathon in 2013, she had no idea her life was about to change -- that, in a matter of minutes, she would look up from the sidewalk, burned and deaf, staring at her detached foot, screaming for help amid the smoke and blood. In the chaos of the minutes that followed, three people would enter Roseann's life and change it forever. Learn about these four lives brought together in a deadly moment and how being in the wrong place at the worst time can lead to life's biggest adventures and most important relationships. Roseann Sdoia is a public speaker and advocate for challenged athletes. She is committed to one day running the entire 26.2 mile Boston Marathon. A Q&A and book selling/signing will take place after the event for those interested. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
