The Value of Your Library

A Novel Experience: Featuring Marley & Me Author, John Grogan
 Join KDL on Thursday, October 29 at 7:00 p.m. at the Forest Hills Fine Arts Center for an evening with Marley & Me author John Grogan as he presents "Life Lessons from Marley & Me."

A book signing will immediately follow the presentation.
Tickets are $10 in advance and can be purchased online, at any KDL branch location or any Schuler Books & Music location in Grand Rapids. Proceeds from all ticket sales will support KDL's literacy programs for young children.
