CONWAY — On Thursday afternoon, White Birch Books of North Conway and climber/author Mark Synnott of Jackson will be presenting something the local bookstore has not been able to do in a year — an in-person author signing event for Synnott’s latest, “The Third Pole: Mystery, Obsession and Death on Mount Everest.”
Due to social distancing concerns, the book signing, starting at 4 p.m., will take place outside (weather permitting) at the bookstore, located at 2568 White Mountain Highway in North Conway.
