WCDPL Celebrates National Library Week with Author & Librarian, Jo Dereske

Readers, aspiring writers, and library lovers are invited to celebrate National Library Week, April 14 – 20, at Wood County District Public Library (251 N. Main St., Bowling Green, Ohio) with special guest, author and librarian Jo Dereske. In addition to a popular crime fiction series which features amateur sleuth and the librarian’s librarian, Helma Zukas, Dereske is also the author of several books for younger readers. Dereske, a native of Michigan who now resides in Washington state, will be at the library on Tuesday, April 16, and Wednesday, April 17.

WCDPL has several events planned during Dereske’s visit. At 7 pm on Tuesday evening, Dereske will talk about the importance of libraries, and about her career as an author in the library’s Atrium. On Wednesday, Dereske will be the guest of honor at a brown bag lunch starting at noon in the 1st Floor Meeting Room. Desserts and beverages will be provided for the lunch by the Friends of the Library. Space at the brown bag lunch is limited, and it is recommended that reservations be made by calling the library at 419-352-5104.

Both of these events are free and open to the public. Copies of Dereske’s most recent books will be available for purchase at both events.
