The Moline Public Library celebrates National Library Week with a program from Deb Bowen as she discusses her children's book series A Book By Me, Wednesday, April 11th at 7:00 p.m.

A series of books for children authored by young adults, A Book By Me features stories of Holocaust survivors, prison camp liberators, and Christian & Muslim righteous gentiles.  Deb Bowen's project, in cooperation with the Jewish Federation of the Quad Cities and local educators,    has resulted in 60 books written, 6 of which were printed   and distributed to local schools.  Ms. Bowen will also discuss Operation WRITE NOW, which is seeking out students interested in participating in conducting interviews and writing stories for A Book By Me.

To register for this free program, please visit the Moline Public Library at 3210 - 41st Street, Moline or call 309-524-2470.  This program is sponsored by Friends of the Moline Public Library.
