Welcome to Friends of the South End Library (FOSEL).
As a nonprofit organization, we are committed to making the South End branch of the Boston Public Library (BPL) a vibrant civic space within our community with exciting programming created for you, based on your suggestions and those of our board and Library staff. Programs are made possible by private funding from you, our loyal supporters.
Please join us for a talk by award-winning Boston author of fiction and non-fiction, and professor of writing at Bennington College, Doug Bauer. Doug will share his recent book, The Beckoning World, a novel set in the early 20th century featuring a coal miner whose talent for baseball unexpectedly changes his life in wonderful and complicated ways. Doug now lives in Cambridge, after 30 years in the South End.
