Frederick County Public Libraries presents hHighly-acclaimed bestselling author Wes Moore. More will speak at Frederick Community College and the Weinberg Center for the Arts as part of the annual Frederick Reads event. This program is a collaborative effort between Frederick County Public Libraries (FCPL), Frederick Community College, and the Weinberg Center
for the Arts.
Moore is currently touring the country to promote his latest work, “Five Days: The Fiery Reckoning of an American City,” a kaleidoscopic account of five days in the life of a city on the edge, told through eight characters on the frontlines of the protests that overtook Baltimore after the death of Freddie Gray.
Moore’s free talks in Frederick County will also highlight his earlier New York Times Bestseller, “The Other Wes Moore” as well as its young adult version “Discovering Wes Moore.” These titles chronicle the lives of two kids named Wes Moore who both grew up fatherless in similar Baltimore neighborhoods. The author’s journey took him from wayward inner city youth to decorated combat veteran,
Rhodes Scholar, White House fellow, social entrepreneur, and business leader while the other Wes Moore ended up convicted of murder and serving a life sentence.
Both events are open to the public. Tickets are free but required. Tickets can be obtained at weinbergcenter.org or by phone at 301-600-2828. |

critic Tim Smith, “one of the most satisfying piano performances I’ve heard.” For more information call 717-334-7776 or visit www.gettysburgcca.org |
