Connecting Audiences with Books That They’ll love” at the University of Bridgeport (UB) on Thursday, March 22, at 4:30pm. The discussion, followed by a question-and-answer session, will be held in room 107 in Mandeville Hall, located at 230 Park Avenue in Bridgeport.
Ms. Begley’s special appearance is part of Necessary Voices, the popular lecture series about arts and ideas produced by the University of Bridgeport English department.

“This is a special treat for anyone who loves books and wants to know what to read next,” said Diane Krumrey, director of the Necessary Voices series and an associate professor of English. “She will discuss books and the art of sharing them through reviews—how she chooses books for her audience and how she frames her articles to try to pair the right books with the right readers.”
