Former CIA operative to speak at the library

Have you ever wondered about the life of a spy? Is it all about jumping trains and rooftop chases and hi-tech spy equipment?

A retired CIA operative offers a look at his life on Wednesday, Nov. 7 at 6:30 p.m. at the El Dorado County Library, 345 Fair Lane in Placerville.

After 30 years, this covert agent can finally divulge his frequently frightening and sometimes funny exploits working undercover in several overseas countries, with no diplomatic protection from the U.S. Embassy.

Don’t miss this compelling look at the secret world of espionage, learn more about the “outing” of former CIA agent Valerie Plame, and discover career opportunities for women in the Central Intelligence Agency.

Sponsored by the American Association of University Women and Friends of the Library, this evening of danger and subterfuge is free but donations are gratefully accepted to support scholarships for local women.

For more information contact the library at 530-621-5540 or visit the Library Programs and Events calendar on the library’s Website eldoradolibrary.org.
