Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Audiences throughout the metro area will have opportunities to meet and listen to their favorite authors whether they are interested in mysteries, memoirs, or poetry.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Audiences throughout the metro met and listened to authors from a variety of genres and who represent and write from diverse points of view. The programs provided attendees with access to national literary names, but also raised the profile of Minnesota's own literary talent through events with Leif Enger, Linda LeGarde Grover, and Lorna Landvik. Beyond the events, Club Book increased access to these authors by recording and making available the author lectures in podcast form.
