"Library After Dark" Author Talk

The Warrenton Community Library is hosting author R.J. Marx at "Library After Dark" on Saturday, November 8 at 4 p.m. R.J. will share more about his research process, read excerpts from his work and answer audience questions. R.J. Marx is a veteran journalist and editor whose most recent book is "Seaside’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Riots: How a Coastal City’s Labor Day Riots Heralded a Decade of Unrest". After a two-decade career as editor of the award-winning Record-Review in New York’s Westchester County, he relocated to the Oregon Coast in 2015, serving as editor of the "Seaside Signal" and "Cannon Beach Gazette" until his retirement in 2023. His time on the North Coast introduced Marx to the historical events of Seaside in the 1960s. Two years of research, including in-depth interviews with eyewitnesses, culminated in "Seaside’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Riots". In addition to his writing, Marx is a gigging jazz saxophonist. Stay updated with his newsletter at rjmarx.substack.com and on the “Seaside Rock ‘n’ Roll Riots” Facebook page. Author talk starts at 4 p.m.; refreshments and mingling at 5 p.m. Special thanks to Gaetano's Market and Deli for sponsoring the food. "Library After Dark" is a monthly PNW author series. This event is free to attend and is hosted by the Friends of Warrenton Community Library.
