Local authors to be celebrated on May 20


If you are interested in talking to local authors, listening to them read from their works, buying their books and/or getting them signed, mark your calendar for a Local Authors Celebration at Musser Public Library, 408 E. 2nd St., Muscatine, Iowa, on May 20.

Eight local authors will convene from noon to 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 20, in Room 301 of the Musser Public Library & HNI Community Center, to meet with the public and read from their most recent works.
