Join your library for a presentation with Minnesota author Carrie Classon.

Join us for a special presentation with Carrie Classon, nationally syndicated columnist of "The Postscript" (featured in over 100 newspapers weekly) and author of the breakout northern Minnesota novel, "Loon Point." In this engaging theatrical presentation, Carrie explores how stories bring meaning to our lives and how the tales we tell can transform us in unexpected ways. Following the presentation, Carrie will host an open Q&A to answer your questions about writing, publishing, and the art of storytelling.

Please Note: Books will not be available for purchase at the event.

This program is offered free of charge thanks in part to funding from the Minnesota Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund.
