The Brewster Ladies’ Library Association has chosen Bob Woodward as the featured speaker for the annual Nickerson Lecture Series to be held on Saturday, Oct. 22, in Brewster.

Woodward is a legendary Pulitzer Prize-Winning investigative journalist, associate editor of the Washington Post, and author of 21 best sellers. Woodward gained international attention when he and Carl Bernstein uncovered the Watergate scandal in 1973, a story told in the movie "All the President's Men."

As a speaker, Woodward pulls the curtain back on Washington and its leaders to captivate audiences with stories that are sometimes surprising, at times shocking and always fascinating.

"Peril," his latest book, speaks to the transition from President Donald Trump to President Joe Biden. Woodward and Robert Costa reveal for the first time, it was far more than just a domestic political crisis. Peril is supplemented throughout with never-before-seen material from secret orders, transcripts of confidential calls, diaries, emails, meeting notes and other personal and government records, making for an unparalleled history.

Individuals with paid membership in the Brewster Ladies’ Library Association will be eligible to register for this program, at a maximum of two seats per household. The opening date for registrations will be announced later this spring; registration is not yet available. If tickets remain after that date, reservations will be opened to the wider community. Those interested in joining the Association may do so via the Library website, www.brewsterladieslibrary.org.

A number of other events related to this lecture also are being planned and will be announced later this year.
