“We're excited about the fifth anniversary of this great event. It's always interesting to hear authors speak about their process and inspiration. We’re looking forward to a fun day and hope lots of people will join us in the park.” said Stephanie Klimmek, head of youth services.
Jen Hassell, adult Services librarian, shared how much she enjoys working on Read in the Park, saying it “is always a fun, beautiful day. It's a joy to see authors engaging with their audience and sharing their love of reading in our scenic Beverly Park.”
Beverly Park is located at 18801 Beverly Road in Beverly Hills. Both authors will take questions from the audience and sign books after they speak. Local bookseller The Book Beat of Oak Park will be on site selling books.
This event is presented by Baldwin Public Library and The Village of Beverly Hills Parks & Recreation, with support from the Friends of Baldwin Public Library.
