The 2009 Multnomah County Library Children's Author Lecture speaker is Jon Scieszka, National Ambassador for Young People's Literature and author of The Stinky Cheeseman and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs and editor of Guys Write for Guys Read. After his talk, Mr. Scieszka will autograph his books, which will be available for purchase from Annie Bloom's Bookstore. Lecture begins at 7:00 pm, doors open at 6:15 pm.
Tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for students (K-12). Tickets are on sale at Library Administration and Central, Gresham, Hillsdale, Hollywood, Midland, Sellwood-Moreland and St. John's libraries. Tickets are also available at Annie Bloom's Books and A Children's Place Bookstore. For more information call 503.988.5402.
Ticket sales support the library's outreach to local schools, providing books, transportation, lecture tickets and a chance to meet the author to hundreds of students from schools that normally could not afford an author visit. This year's beneficiaries are students at Grout Elementary.
The Children's Author Lecture is made possible in part by The Library Foundation with support from McCormick and Schmick's and Riverdale School District.
