A.M. Briefing
Two Things To Know Today:
- Late Calendar Addition: Phillips Academy alum and author Charles Finch will be at Andover Bookstore today to discuss his new book, "What Just Happened: Notes on a Long Year." The book looks at the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 with "unwavering humanity and light-footed humor," according to the Boston Globe, which named it one of its best books of 2022. Call 978-475-0143 for more details and to make sure the snow has not impacted the event.
- The Town of Andover's first electric vehicle charging station opened Downtown at 89 Main Street last week. The Level 2 charging station will be open 24 hours a day, and costs $1.50 per hour for use, with an additional charge after 4 hours (more info).
