We had a great program at the library on Monday, April 14th. The writers were interesting, witty and amazingly well-read. We are so lucky in Maplewood to be surrounded by such amazing literary talent. For those of you who couldn't make it, I thought I'd post some of the books and authors the panelists mentioned.
