Stories from the Phog with Chelan David

Get ready for March Madness and get hyped about KU basketball on Friday, March 13 with Stories from the Phog.

Author Chelan David will be at our library to share 40 years of KU Basketball with us, just ahead of the NCAA and NJCAA tournaments.

In Stories from the Phog, lifelong KU hoops fan and Lawrence native Chelan David invites readers on a journey through forty years of Kansas basketball. It begins with a trip to an arcade with David Magley, Indiana’s Mr. Basketball in 1978, includes the 2022 National Championship game, and culminates with the changing landscape of college basketball that we are witness to today. In between are encounters with Larry Brown, Danny Manning, Roy Williams, Bill Self, Gradey Dick, and other legends of the Kansas program, and memories from KU fans. Also included are anecdotes from descendants of James Naismith and Phog Allen.

Join us on Friday, March 13th at 3:00 PM in the library sun room, RSVP here: https://www.hutchpl.org/event/stories-from-the-phog-with-chelan-david/
