Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants will have the opportunity to meet an award-winning author, be inspired to read more mysteries and/or books written by local authors, and gain an appreciation for the difficulties and challenges of the writing process.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The Brian Freeman author event was a great success! Attendees enjoyed listening to the author talk about his path to becoming a published writer. His presentation was full of humor and interest. The libraries opportunity to bring in Freeman as a speaker was made even more meaningful as he had recently announced that he has been selected by the Robert Ludlum estate to write the Jason Bourne series! Librarians Note: Minnesota author events have been and continue to be a requested program in our McLeod County libraries. Brian Freeman is an author I would highly recommend to other libraries.
