Harford County Public is hosting several Meet the Author events during April and May. Topics range from a Chesapeake Bay mystery, storytime with a sweet crab, a Lowcountry romance and the history of Jarrettsville.

“We are so fortunate to have an amazing group of talented authors join us at the library this spring,” said Mary Hastler, CEO of Harford County Public Library. “Meet the Author visits are always popular, and the topics being shared by Judy, Lindsey, Jennifer and Doug will be of interest to a wide range of library customers. I’m looking forward to adding many more books to my personal to-read list.”

Following is information about each Meet the Author gathering:

Judy L. Murray, April 1, 2 to 3:30 p.m. at the Havre de Grace Library: Murray, a local author, will discuss the writing process behind her book series, “Murder in the Master: A Chesapeake Bay Mystery.” Books will be available for purchase and signing after the program.

Sheldon’s Time/Lindsey Pope, April 3, 10:15 to 10:45 a.m. at the Havre de Grace Library: Join the library for a special storytime featuring author Pope, who will read her picture book “Sheldon’s Time.” The event is supported by the Havre de Grace Friends of HCPL.
