Author Stan Wien to speak about Theodore Roosevelt

The Bethel Public Library is pleased to host local author Stan Wien on Wednesday December 9, 6:30-7:30 pm. Mr. Wien is an experienced negotiator and a student of the life of Theodore Roosevelt, and in his recently published book, Ambassador for Peace: How Theodore Roosevelt Won the Nobel Peace Prize, he brought his expertise and interests to bear. In this talk he will reveal how Roosevelt used his mediation and diplomatic skills to end the Russo-Japanese War and become the first American to win the Nobel Prize. This talk covers a fascinating and little-known piece of history that will be of interest to adults and teens alike.

Registration is required. Please register through the Library’s online calendar at www.bethellibrary.org, call 203-794-8756 x4, or sign up at the Library’s Reference Desk. Bethel Public Library, 189 Greenwood Avenue, Bethel, CT.
