Author Walter to launch library series

Spokane author Jess Walter will be the first author to participate in a new series of special programs to be sponsored by the Coeur d’Alene Public Library Foundation: “Reading for the Library,” said Ben Drake, current president of the foundation. “We are reaching out to people in the community who love reading – book clubs, library patrons, students, and educators – to share books and gather at the library to discuss what we have read.” Drake said that, whenever possible, the author will be invited to come to the library to read his or her work and to lead the discussions. It the author is not available, qualified discussion leaders will be involved. For the first of this series, Walter will discuss his book “We Live in Water” on Sunday, June 12, at 6 p.m. in the library Community Room, 702 E. Front Ave. The doors will open at 5 p.m. and the evening will include wine and appetizers/ Coeur d’Alene Today . More here .
