REMINDER: AUTHOR VISIT TODAY!

Today @ 2PM we will be hosting a reading of "Moving Mountains" by author Penny Loeb. "Moving Mountains" is the account of one woman, her community and the fight waged and won against big coal and mountaintop removal. Ms. Loeb is the former senior editor at U.S. News and World Report and former investigative reporter for Newsday. She was also a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.

Please join us for this great event this afternoon!
