The Friends of the Bushnell-Sage Library in Sheffield, MA invite the public to a presentation and reading by Kevin O’Hara.   Kevin is the proud recipient of the John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Award, given in 2012 for his first two books, Last of the Donkey Pilgrims, and A Lucky Irish Lad.  He also is a longtime contributing columnist to The Berkshire Eagle, and was named the 2020 writer-in-residence at Herman Melville’s Arrowhead. Kevin will read from his books in the program room at the library at 2:30pm on Sunday, June 22, 2025.

This is the third reading in the Friends’ Artists Talk Series focused on the literary output of local writers. Kevin is a Pittsfield native, inveterate traveler, and habitual storyteller. He will present pictures and commentary about his remarkable year-long trip around Ireland with his beloved donkey, “calling card and meal ticket,” Missie.
