UPCOMING SPECIAL EVENTS

Presented by: 

Books 'n' More, Clinton County Alliance for Compassion and Truth, Empathy Surplus Network USA, & Wilmington College

A Sister City Fundraiser for Merefa, Ukraine

 Timothy Snyder, acclaimed historian and author of the New York Times #1 bestseller ON TYRANNY, will talk about his new book, ON FREEDOM, which explores freedom—what it is, how it’s been misunderstood, and why it is our only chance for survival.

Readers can preorder ON FREEDOM when purchasing event tickets, and books will also be available at the event.


All net ticket and book proceeds from Snyder’s Wilmington talk at the Murphy will go to the Merefa, Ukraine, Sister City Fund.
