Award-Winning Author at Library Tuesday

The Hamilton East Public Library is delighted to welcome award-winning author Varian Johnson to the Fishers Library. Young readers and families are invited to a special author visit at the Fishers Library on Tuesday at 5 p.m. Johnson will be sharing stories, answering questions, and signing books in an engaging and interactive event perfect for elementary-teen readers.

Johnson is the author of several novels for children and young adults, including The Parker Inheritance, which won both Coretta Scott King Author Honor and Boston Globe/Horn Book Honor awards; The Great Greene Heist, an ALA Notable Children’s book and Kirkus Reviews Best Book; and the graphic novel Twins, illustrated by Shannon Wright, an NPR Best Book.

“We are excited to host award-winning author Varian Johnson at our Fishers Branch,” says HEPL Children’s Program Coordinator, Allison Kartman. “Hearing from an author firsthand can bring literature to life and help kids connect with the written word in a dynamic way. We hope everyone will come out to hear from this great author and support a local Indy bookstore, Loudmouth Books by buying some of Mr. Johnson’s titles. Mr. Johnson will be available after the program to sign and personalize books!”

The event is free and open to the public. Registration is not required but is requested for an accurate head count. Following the program, Varian will be available to sign books and LoudMouth Books will be onsite with a selection of books for purchase.
