Noted author, sportsman, and environmentalist Tom Horton will discuss his groundbreaking book of stories and essays “Bay Country” on Thursday night, November 14, at 6:30 p.m., in the Easton branch of the Talbot County Free Library. The New York Times Book Review said that with the publication of this book “Mr. Horton … ventures into a small, distinguished circle of nature writers.

Herb Reed, of the University of Maryland Extension Service, Calvert County, will speak at the third program, on Monday, November 18, on the care and maintenance of septic systems; and on Monday night, November 25, the series will conclude with “Story-Tellers of the Bay,” featuring five of the Chesapeake’s finest yarn-spinners: Captains Fred Pomeroy, William Roe, Scott Todd, and Michael Vlahovich, and native Smith Island crab-picker and song-writer Janice Marshall. Each of these programs will take place at 6:30 p.m. in the Easton library. All library programs are free and open to the public. Patrons are not required to pre-register for these programs.
