You Can Meet the Author of 'WOOL' at the Watertown Library

Hugh Howey will be in Watertown for events at Donohue's and the Watertown Free Public Library.

The Watertown Free Public Library will welcome Hugh Howey, the author of “WOOL” on Sept. 20 and 21.

The event is part of the One Book, One Watertown community read where residents are encouraged to read a selected title and then the library will host a variety of events to celebrate the book. Howey will be at Donohue’s Bar & Grill on Sept. 20 and at the library for two events on Sept. 21 (see details below). There will also be a book discussion on Sept. 4.

WOOL can be described as a mystery, science fiction, a thriller and more. The self-published book was the highest customer-reviewed fiction book on Amazon last year.
