Michael Perry, author of Population: 485: Meeting Your Neighbors One Siren at a Time, will be our special guest at Friends of Books on June 9 from 2:00 to 3:30pm in the library’s lower level meeting room.

Perry is a poet, registered nurse, a trained EMT and a volunteer firefighter. In Population: 485 he writes with humor about his experiences in New Auburn, Wisconsin, his hometown. He describes car crashes, heart attacks, and fires with care and poignancy.

Perry’s appearance is free and open to the general public. The Appleton Library Foundation provided financial support for this event.
