Project Overview
Minnesota author Pamela Carter Joern spoke about her Minnesota Book Award-nominated short story collection In Reach. Set in Reach, Nebraska, the stories range from the 1950’s to the present day and center on characters who have ties to the rural community that shaped them. She ended the program by signing books. We packaged this event as part of a Spring Author Series to raise the profile of all of the events and all events seemed to benefit from this.
