IRASBURG — The Leach Public Library in Irasburg will hold the third annual celebration of beloved Vermont author Howard Frank Mosher during an event at the library.
The gathering will take place at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 2, the 76th anniversary of his birth.
Howard Frank Mosher made his home in Irasburg until his death in 2017.
Many of Mosher’s books feature the fictional town of “Kingdom Common,” loosely modeled on Irasburg, with elements of Orleans and Newport.
In 2016, Mosher donated his personal book collection to the Leach Public Library, where he served as a longtime member of the board of trustees.
“It has become a tradition for us to celebrate our friend and neighbor Howard Frank Mosher on his birthday,” said Leach Library trustee Judith Jackson.
Refreshments, featuring some of Howard Frank Mosher’s favorites, will be served.
“It’s an opportunity to recognize anew his unique insight into the life and people of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, his affection for them, and ours for him,” Jackson added.
