Author and Adventurer Shelley Gill To Visit the Library!

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Shelley Gill has long been an adventurer. She hails from Alaska but has traveled the world and brings stories of these adventures to children across the country through her books and visits. Gill will be making a stop in Bettendorf on Tuesday, April 13 at 7 p.m. We have asked her to share her Antarctica stories with us for this visit and they are sure to be a crowd pleaser! No registration is necessary, Sponsored by The Friends of the Bettendorf Public Library. A selection of her books will be available for sale and autographing the night of the event.  Find out more about Shelley at www.shelleygill.com
