Skype with Author Camron Wright

Join us as we Skype with the author of The Rent Collector and Letters for Emily (the last two OFL Book Club selections), Camron Wright.  Discuss his books, his style of writing and more followed by a Q&A session.
                 
About the Books:

• The Rent Collector (Aug. 2012) - This is a story of hope, of one woman's journey to save her son and another woman's chance at redemption. It demonstrates that even in a dump in Cambodia--perhaps especially in a dump in Cambodia--everyone deserves a second chance.
• Letters for Emily (June 2003) - Harry Whitney has Alzheimer's disease, and he knows his 'good' time is dwindling. So he compiles a book of poems for his granddaughter, Emily, hoping that his words of hard-won wisdom will heal the old wounds that are tearing his family apart.

For adults.  Registration preferred.

Thank you Kayleigh King for thinking of OFL on YOUR b'day!

 Thank you to 5-year-old Kayleigh King for raising $111.35 for OFL! For her birthday party this year, she decided that instead of her friends getting her presents, she would rather they donate money to her favorite library! Thank you Kayleigh... We will buy many colorful books with your donation!

Making this wonderful donation to OFL wasn't the only excitement that day... Since Kayleigh had just celebrated he 5th birthday, she was now old enough to get her very own library card! She quickly signed her new card and checked out a stack of books and a movie. Congratulations and thank you again Kayleigh!
