Project Overview
The library promoted the book "Ordinary Grace" by William Kent Krueger. The book was checked out constantly with others ordered through interlibrary loan. Then, on Wednesday, April 16th at 6:30 pm, Mr. Krueger talked about his writing techniques, his books and answered any questions about his books. The library had a wonderful attendance of 40 people in the library, some coming from as far away as Austin, Rochester and even LaCrosse and Onalaska, WI.

Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Encouraged our community to read books by local Minnesota Authors and also encouraged the use of the public library as a resource for obtaining reading materials by attending the visit in the library. Had a great discussion with the author.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The library believes the projected outcomes were matched. Harmony Public Library had people in the library seldom seen. Patrons read "Ordinary Grace" and continued with the author's other books when perhaps they would not have even picked up a mystery because they don't generally read mysteries.
