Join the Bedford Public Library Foundation for their annual Fall Gala with author and humorist Rebecca Rule. Becky hosted the New Hampshire Authors Series for ten years on NHPBS and now hosts Our Hometown on NHPBS. She’s been telling stories in New England, especially NH, for more than thirty years. She hasn’t visited every town in the Granite State, but has found her way to many of them — speaking at libraries, historical societies, church groups, and charitable organizations. She likes collecting stories because “they’re free and you don’t have to dust them."

Her books include N is for New Hampshire, an ABC book with photographs by Scott Snyder; The Iciest Diciest Scariest Sled Ride Ever!, a picture book illustrated by Jennifer Thermes; Headin’ for the Rhubarb, A NH Dictionary (well, kinda); and That Reminds Me of a Funny Story, Hobblebush Press. Her newest book NH Trivia came out in May, 2024.

The gala starts at 5:30 with autumn-themed beverages, snacks and music before Becky’s remarks. Tickets are $35 to support the Bedford Library Foundation and may be purchased at the main desk of the library or online, while supplies last.
