Throughout the month of January, if you mention Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth (CHaD) during your blood donation at Dartmouth-Hitchcock, the Blood Donor Program will give a book from the Norwich Bookstore to the Child Life Program at CHaD!
Franchesca Ramsey, a social justice advocate, comedian, video blogger, and host of the MTV news web series Decoded, will be the featured speaker for Dartmouth’s 2019 Martin Luther King Jr. celebration. Her first book, Well, That Escalated Quickly: Memoirs and Mistakes of an Accidental Activist, was published in 2018.
The English & Creative Writing Department at Dartmouth welcomes nonfiction author, filmmaker, and essayist Alex Mar to read from and talk about Witches in America, a memoir of her immersive five-year trip into the occult, as both a journalist and someone searching for her own faith.

The current events calendar reflects
the creative ways we work with authors and organizations. We are participating in the blood - and book - drive at DHMC and celebrating MLK with a nationally-known speaker in Spaulding. In the planning are events in WRJ, at Dartmouth, at Howe, and other locations throughout the region.
We enjoy working behind the scenes to promote authors and books! There are so many logistics to stage a successful event: Where should we host the author of a beautiful gem of a book on Forest Bathing? What time is best for the launch of a graphic novel? Which books might kids be most interested in when an author/illustrator visits a school? What should your reading group tackle next? (Answers: at Dartmouth so Hannah Fries can show slides; James Sturm will speak at 4:30 pm following a "sweet for Valentine's Day" reception; it depends on the age group, we will offer options; your book club can set up a time for a private meeting at the store!)
We love these collaborations and are happy to explore other ideas you might have. Rest assured, we’ve got you covered... ~ Liza
