An Evening with Sebastian Junger
September 19, at 6:30 p.m.

The Rockport Library Foundation is excited to welcome award-winning journalist, director, and best-selling author SEBASTIAN JUNGER for a talk at the Rockport Opera House. Known for riveting and emotionally compelling books like The Perfect StormWar, and Tribe, Junger will present his latest book, In My Time of Dying. His near-fatal health emergency lead to this powerful reflection on death—and what might follow. The book is part medical drama, part searing autobiography, and part rational inquiry into the ultimate unknowable mystery.

The event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited. Learn more about the program, and reserve your seats by clicking HERE.

The Foundation is an IRS 501.c3 not-for-profit organization formed in 2018 by a small group of dedicated Rockport residents to raise the required funding for the new Rockport Public Library. While we successfully raised the initial funding for the building and furnishings, we’ve now set our sights on developing a world-class speaker series. CLICK HERE to learn more.
