Summer Author Series

The Tuscarawas County Public Library System will host four authors this summer as part of its Summer Author Series.

“We are fortunate to have three author programs at our Main Library and one at our Bolivar Branch,” said TCPL Director Michelle McMorrow Ramsell. “Those attending are sure to be inspired as they listen to authors share their passions and what led to them writing their books.”

The Bolivar Branch will welcome author Laura Ball on Monday, June 3rd at 10:30 AM. Ball, the author of the children’s book Albert the Donkey Meets a New Friend, will share her story during a special storytime. 

This is Gonna Hurt, author Brandon Weis will detail his journey hiking over 7,000 miles in a year through multiple trails at the Main Library on Saturday, June 8th at 1:00 PM. Weis completed The Calendar Year Triple Crown (hiking the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and Continental Divide Trail in the same year) an achievement considered rare; likened to walking on the moon.

On Wednesday, June 12th at 6:30 PM at the Main Library, author Amy Hayes will present her book, Graceful ParentingHayes will teach parents how to keep their cool in the heat of summer parenting while peacefully engaging their children’s cooperation. Parents will learn how to respond instead of react, correct instead of condemn, and even how to put their kids on autopilot!
