Award-winning local authors Anthony Bukoski and Carol Dunbar will visit the library on Thursday, June 12 at 6 p.m. for a reading and conversation in celebration of Bukoski's new short story collection, The Thief of Words. The interconnected stories in this new collection are filled with desperate runaways, the unhappily married, and the displaced, and are set in the Polish American communities of northern Wisconsin and Louisiana, where refugees from World War II were resettled.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase. Refreshments will be provided by the Friends of the Library. This event is free and open to all.
