FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: KALAMAZOO PUBLIC LIBRARY IS HOSTING THE 2018 READING TOGETHER MEET THE AUTHOR EVENT AND THE 15TH ANNUAL TEEN FILMMAKER FESTIVAL THIS WEEKEND
by Farrell Howe 12 Mar '18

12 Mar '18

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 12, 2018 CONTACT Farrell Howe Marketing and Communication Manager Kalamazoo Public Library 269-553-7879 Join us for Back-to-Back Blockbuster KPL Events This Weekend! Kalamazoo, MI – Monday, March 12, 2018. This weekend is all about Kalamazoo Public Library<http://www.kpl.gov/> (KPL) as it hosts two of its biggest annual programs back-to-back. 2018 Reading Together: Meet Author Matthew Desmond On Friday, March 16, 7-9 pm, the 2018 Reading Together<http://readingtogether.us/> featured author Matthew Desmond will visit Chenery Auditorium<http://www.cheneryaud.com/>. Desmond will discuss his research and motivation for his book Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City, which won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize, National Book Critics Award, Carnegie Medal, and PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction. This Meet the Author event is free and open to the public. No ticket is required. Copies of Evicted will be available for purchase from Michigan News Agency<http://www.michigannews.biz/>. A book signing will immediately follow the presentation. In his brilliant, heartbreaking book, Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City, Matthew Desmond takes us into the poorest neighborhoods of Milwaukee to tell the stories of eight families on the edge. Based on years of embedded fieldwork and painstakingly gathered data, this masterful book transforms our understanding of extreme poverty and economic exploitation while providing fresh ideas for solving a devastating, uniquely American problem. Its unforgettable scenes of hope and loss remind us of the centrality of home, without which nothing else is possible. About Reading Together: One Book, One Community The purpose of Reading Together is to build a stronger community with deeper connections through the common experience of reading the same book and exploring its themes together. When we do that, we engage and learn, not only about ourselves, but more importantly about each other and the world around us. Learn more about Reading Together and this year's list of events at readingtogther.us<http://readingtogether.us/>. KPL thanks the 2018 Reading Together sponsors, Friends of Kalamazoo Public Library<http://www.kpl.gov/friends>, Irving S.
