Edit (Nov 28, am): In response to the weather alert active in the region, the library has postponed the "JFK Assassination at 60" event originally scheduled for this evening at the Ingersoll Branch to the evening of Monday, December 11th, 6-7pm at the Ingersoll Branch. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. All confirmed registrations will remain valid for the rescheduled event.

The assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963 captured the world’s attention and, arguably, changed the course of modern history. Sixty years on, it continues to captivate and intrigue. In this presentation, Randy Owen, Oxford County resident and renowned expert on JFK, will share his extensive knowledge on the subject, reviewing the newspaper reaction to the event in Southwestern Ontario, the many investigations that followed the assassination, and the release of official documents over the past sixty years. What mysteries, if any, remain unsolved?
