SHREWSBURY – After the Friends of the Shrewsbury Public Library hold a brief business meeting Sept. 28, they will welcome Boston Globe and Boston Herald columnist Beverly Beckham.
The program, entitled “An Evening with Noted Boston Globe and Boston Herald Columnist Beverly Beckham,” will begin at 7 p.m. at the community meeting room.
Beckham lives in Canton, and her career began in 1979. Her articles and essays have appeared in newspapers and magazines around the world. She wrote columns and editorials for the Boston Herald for 20 years and writes a Sunday column for the Boston Globe.
Beckham’s articles often give a voice to people who are unable to speak for themselves. However, she is most known for her reflective words and ability to make her readers appreciate the joys in everyday life.
Among her works are “A Gift of Time,” a collection of personal essays; “Back Then, a Memoir of Childhood;” and “The Best of Beverly Beckham,” which is a Boston Globe e-book.
Many of her columns have appeared in the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series. She is also a frequent guest on radio and TV as well as a keynote speaker for organizations nationwide.
The program is free and open to the public. No pre-registration required. For more information, visit https://shrewsburypubliclibrary.org/events-calendar/calendar.
