Local writer will give talk at library Sept. 9

The Leisure World Library is rounding out its 2022Author-Speak series with a presentation by Michael McGrorty on Friday, Sept. 9 at 11 a.m. at Veterans Plaza next to the library. McGrorty has been many things: a private eye, a librarian, a federal investigator and an author. He’s known for his popular writings on the social media platform Nextdoor. His book “The Swimmer and Others: Stories of the Second World War” features nine short stories involving characters as varied as the nations and battles of that conflict.

Residents are invited to arrive as early as 10:30 a.m. to enjoy refreshments. The presentation will begin promptly at 11 a.m.
