As a native to Minnesota, I love to learn about local authors. It’s heartwarming to hear stories from our member libraries about how they recognize authors. Some examples include; famous quotes, webcasts, book talks, celebrating birthdays, table displays, etc. As a result,  I wanted to share with you a resource from the MN Book Awards.  It is a literary map, From Main Street to Your Street: Minnesota Writers on the Map. Click here to find an author near you.

TIP: Kate DiCamillo, who is currently living in Minneapolis, MN,  is holding an exclusive webcast with Jon Scieszka on October 21st.  If you would like to attend, registration and additional information can be found online at http://tinyurl.com/kesjsml.
