It did seem fitting to have these photographs in the Public Library where she spent four years of her early life and to take part in the book tour that looks at her life in the white house.

We are in our 12th year this season and so delighted to have all of the fabulous authors participating. This year we had a very special circumstance with this particular program. Which is very important and very compelling on the subject of refugees. We decided to go in a different direction and do it from reporters. Telling from their insight and experiences in the field. And what happened is actually some reporters that we were having come got stuck on current assignment in the field. For instance patrick kane was going to come in his book is quite wonderful and he cannot be here today. And Oscar Martinez in san salvador is doing an investigative report right now. And as of yesterday could not make it out of the country to be here. We are fortunate though to have a very nuanced and experienced reporter Deborah Campbell, with her book. And we have lauren wolf.
