PEN PALS AUTHOR LECTURE SERIES is a presentation of The Library Foundation of Hennepin County, working to support excellent services and innovative programs at a Hennepin County Library near you.

Pen Pals celebrates its tenth season this fall with a stellar lineup of literary figures whose works include cultural misunderstandings between widely different world views; historical nonfiction of America’s fight for freedom; a fictional tale of international conspiracy; a touching memoir of a writer from a dirt-poor Alabama childhood rising to Pulitzer Prize winner; and a religion historian’s scholarly dissertation on the teachings of Christ.

Our new venue at Hopkins Center for the Arts offers great sound and sight lines for the entire house, as well as nearby restaurants and convenient parking.

Sign up for the Pen Pals Mailing List by sending your name, address, phone number, and email address to foundation@hclib.org. The 2007-2008 season authors will be announced in May 2007
