| Author talk on Tuesday, July 12, 7:30 p.m. at Leelanau Township Library |
There are no Thursday Evening author events this summer at Dog Ears Books, but the township library is going forward with its summer author series in July. The first author gave his talk at the Willowbrook, Elizabeth Emerson will speak at the library tomorrow evening, and Greg Nobles will tell us all about Betsey Stockton at the Willowbrook next week, July 19. His talk was originally scheduled to take place at the Northport Arts Association building, so don't be confused. Best plan is to come to the library tomorrow evening, hear Elizabeth, and get the rest of the schedule straight on your calendar.
Letters from Red Farm is subtitled The Untold Story of the Friendship between Helen Keller and Journalist Joseph Edgar Chamberlin. Helen Keller's autobiography, The Story of My Life, was just about my first foray into nonfiction, and I've never forgotten it. Not only did Ms. Keller accomplish more than most sighted and hearing individuals in a lifetime, she also touched many other lives and was an example to the world. Joseph Chamberlin was her mentor for over 40 years, and the author of this book, Elizabeth Emerson, is Chamberlin's great-great-granddaughter, s tomorrow's library talk promises to be fascinating in every respect.
I'm not usually in the bookstore on Mondays but made an exception today, because I was unable to purchase a great number of Emerson's book and wanted to make it available today, as well as tomorrow, so don't miss out! Come on down!
