The New Rochelle Public Library Foundation hosted its second Cocktails & Conversation event at Alvin & Friends Restaurant in New Rochelle on September 29th. The evening featured drinks, savories and spirited conversation with two noted mystery authors, Maggie Barbieri, who writes as Maggie McConnon, and Laura Bradford, who also writes as Elizabeth Lynn. The discussion was moderated by Dr. Amy Bass, Director of the Honors Program and Professor of History at The College of New Rochelle.
