Meeting Room.
Each April, the Cedar Falls Public Library hosts an author-in-residence program for 5th graders called Cedar Valley's Youth Read. This year's author is Lisa Graff. Lisa Graff began writing at the age of eight, when—after complaining she was bored—her mother advised her to “go write a book or something.” Now she is the author of 18 books for children and teens, among them “A Tangle of Knots” (a National Book Award nominee), “Absolutely Almost” (an NCTE Charlotte Huck Honor Book), and most recently, “Rewind,” which Publishers Weekly praised as “an immersive, laugh-out-loud time-travel novel” . . . with “classic Back to the Future flair.” Together, her books have been named to over 70 state lists. A former children’s book editor and professor of Children’s Literature, Lisa now writes full-time from her home outside of Philadelphia.

Please join us at 6:30 p.m. on April 23rd for a public session of Ms. Graff's presentation.

Funding for CVYR was provided by the Cedar Falls Community Foundation Rob and Shirley Berg Fund for use by the Library.
