Finally, Katie Kitamura is coming to Athens! The big ice storm in January caused us to have to reschedule her first visit. We are so thrilled to welcome her to Athens this FRIDAY at the Athens-Clarke County Library!

Katie will be in conversation with UGACWP's Chigozie Obioma for the Lanier Reading Series. GHOST will be on-site with copies of AUDITION for you to purchase and have signed.

The doors will open at 5:45 with the main event starting at 6pm! Seating will be limited, so plan to arrive early!
