Program Description
Event Details
Join us over Zoom at 7pm on Thursday, June 16, for a virtual author visit from Jim Bolone and Dave McVeigh, authors of The Dockporter: A Mackinac Island Novel!
It's the summer of 1989. Jack McGuinn is a dockporter, transporting tourists' luggage, piled high in the basket of his bike on Mackinac Island, Michigan. He's got the season wired tight: a family cottage on the bluff, a dream job, and a loyal crew of hell-raising, tip-hustling buddies. When his old friend-turned bitter rival challenges him to ride a record-setting load, he takes the bet and soon realizes he's not just carrying suitcases, he's carrying the future of the island, which is about to be paved over for profit.
Copies of The Dockporter are available for checkout at GADML and can be requested through MeL. Please register for the June 16 Virtual Author Visit at http://gadml.librarycalendar.com. You will receive the Zoom link by email the day before the event and again on the day of the event.
