Event Details:

February 24, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. Join us as we meet virtually on the Zoom platform. In the comfort of your own home, join us for an hour with author, Heather O'Neill, who will be discussing her latest book, When We Lost Our Heads, a spellbinding story about two young women whose friendship is so intense it not only threatens to destroy them, it changes the course of history. Contact us by email for a Zoom access code which will be emailed to you the day before the event.

Did you know that only the author and the moderator will be on camera and that you won't be, nor will your microphone be activated? But, you will be able to 'talk' to the author to ask questions or make comments using the chat feature of Zoom. So, get into your pajamas if you want, pour yourself a beverage, and join other Muskoka library users for a evening 'out'!
