Meet This Year's Newbery Medal Winner
KATHERINE APPLEGATE
Tuesday, December 17
4:30 pm at The Book Stall
We're delighted to host 2013 Newbery Medal recipient Katherine Applegate for a reading and signing of her prize-winning book, The One and Only Ivan, based on the true story of a captive gorilla that lived alone in a tiny
cage at a shopping mall for 27 years. It's a great chapter book for
grade-school children and a worthy read for people of all ages.
Ms.
Applegate's visit with us is part of a program set up by Lisa Nagel,
the librarian at St. Francis Xavier School in Wilmette. It includes area
schools and the Lincoln Park Zoo in a 2013-2014 One Book, One Community Initiative.
Please note: Some earlier mentions of this event inadvertently listed it with an incorrect date of Wednesday, December 18. The correct date is Tuesday, December 17.
