September/October Programs
Amie Klempnauer Miller September 29, 7 pm
Author of She Looks Just Like You: A Memoir of (Nonbiological Lesbian) Motherhood, a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award for memoir and creative non-fiction.
As a Midwestern, station wagon-driving, stay-at-home mom – and as a nonbiological lesbian mother – Miller both defines and defies the norm. Part love story, part comedy, part quest, this candid and often humorous memoir is a cultural roadmap to what it means to become a parent.
Genealogy Workshops October 15 led by Lois Abromitis, chair of the Education Committee of the Minnesota Genealogical Society.
Preregistration is required by calling 326-7640. More details available on the Library website calendar.
