Jim's presentation “The Making of a
Northwest Novelist: Conversations with Jim Lynch,” will be followed by a book
signing. Copies of Border Songs, as well as the author's previous works, will be available for purchase on-site through The Bookie.
Jim Lynch, a resident of
Olympia, has been honored with the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Award for his
previous work, Highest Tide, and the 2010 Border Songs won the
Washington State Book Award for Fiction and was a finalist for the American
Booksellers Award for Best Fiction.
As part of the Everybody Reads
program, Mr. Lynch will be visiting several other libraries in the area.
Please refer to http://everybody-reads.org
for a full list of dates, times, and locations, in the event that you are not
able to join us at Neill but would like to attend one of the other
events. Copies of the book are available through Neill Public Library; reading guides are available for download through the link given above and print copies are available inside the library.
Everybody Reads is “a
region-wide effort that declares, with one voice, that reading is not only a
source of individual pleasure, but a tool for community-building.” Begun
in 2000, Everybody Reads now encourages participation from patrons at Asotin
County Library, Clarkston High School Library, NPL, Whitman County Library, WSU
Libraries, Latah County Library, Lewiston City Library, Lewiston High School
Library, Moscow High School Library, and Prairie-River Library District.
Featured authors are either from the Pacific Northwest or featured books are
set in the Pacific Northwest (or both). The featured author for 2011 was
C.J. Box.
Please contact your librarian if
you have any questions.
