Join us for the Ledding Library’s Authors’ Quarterly Series on July 21st at 6:30 pm, at the Library Pond House.

One may not realize how many talented authors there are in our local area. These authors all have fascinating stories to tell and are a wealth of information for those of us who would like to start writing ourselves. The Ledding Library’s Authors’ Quarterly Series intends to promote the authors in our midst and to encourage people of all ages to begin careers in writing. To that end, Joan Arlin Hibbs, Karl E. Wiegers and Rebecca Harrison will share their writing and their knowledge of the craft on July 21st.

Joan Arlin Hibbs lives in Canby where she writes and illustrates both fiction and nonfiction books for adults and children. Her latest, The Puppy Who Wanted to Fly, is about fulfilling one’s dreams despite ridicule and setbacks (joanarlinhibbs.com).

Karl E. Wiegers of Happy Valley has written six books about computer software, but has taken a different path with his latest, Pearls from Sand: How Small Encounters Lead to Powerful Lessons, a personal memoir (karlwiegers.com).

Rebecca Harrison of Oregon City, a victim of child abuse, has co-authored a book on the subject. Her latest work is Deep, Dark and Dangerous: on the Bottom with Northwest Salvage Divers (deepdarkanddangerous.com).
