Ledding Library, 10660 S.E. 21st Ave., Milwaukie, Oregon
When I moved to Oregon, one of my first apartments was adjacent to Providence Milwaukie Hospital — then Dwyer Community Hospital, to date myself. I was dirt poor, and walking to Milwaukie’s Ledding Library was pretty much the only entertainment I could afford.
So thrilled to get to speak at the new, remodeled and totally spiffed-up Ledding Library at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, March 19! This is coming-home time for me. I’ll be discussing “St. Nicholas Salvage & Wrecking.” It’ll be my first public appearance since the trade paperback was released March 3!
It’s part of Ledding’s Cultural Forum (how they invited a guy from Kellogg, Idaho, to a “cultural forum” remains a mystery). They’ve plenty of guests lined up through the year. Check out the list:
