Previous Pen Pals Seasons

The Library Foundation's Pen Pals, the phenomenally successful author lecture series showcases five outstanding writers each year. Pen Pals offers people a rare opportunity to spend some time with their favorite authors. You are entertained with personal anecdotes, life stories, and the kind of insight you just can't get from a dust jacket bio. Our series began in 1997 and since then has brought these exceptional writers to the Twin Cities.
