Have you heard?! A nationally bestselling author is visiting Joplin Public Library!
We couldn't be more excited to welcome Virginia Evans to Joplin. She'll speak about her book, The Correspondent, answer audience questions, and follow with a book signing. Copies of The Correspondent will be for sale at the event thanks to Friends of the Joplin Public Library.

Thank you to our Joplin Reads Together Community Partners! Friends of the Joplin Public Library, Missouri Southern Spiva Library, Post Art Library.
