Local Author Visits Hingham Library

Author and illustrator Joe McKendry will visit the Hingham Library Thursday to speak about his critically acclaimed new book "One Times Square."

Guests will be offered refreshments and can meet the author in the Whiton Room.

"One Times Square" explores the story of this fascinating intersection, starting when Broadway was a mere dirt path known as Bloomingdale Road, through the district's decades of postwar decay, to its renewal as a glittering tourist-friendly media mecca. 

McKendry’s work has appeared in over 50 publications worldwide, including the New York Times, the London Times, Vanity Fair, Esquire, and TIME Magazine.

McKendry is a Maynard, MA native who teaches painting and illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design and lives in Brookline, MA with his wife and three kids.
