Cromaine District Library's upcoming author events - Colleen Gleason & Robert Laura

Things get so busy at this time of year, that it is nice to step back and see what programming is going on in our libraries. These events would all be great ways to spend a few hours and may spark an idea for a visit in your library. While not an "author" visit, Cromaine is also doing a series on Harry Potter - one with a speaker about astronomy, another with an herbalist, one with medieval foods. It's a nice way to have a popular series without repeating the same topic.
