On Saturday, September 19, the Boyle County Public Library will host The Jeanne Penn Lane Celebration of Kentucky Writers. This event is free and open to the public.
On Saturday, visitors to the Celebration of Writers will have the opportunity to hear award winning authors read from their work, as well as meet authors, purchase their books, and learn more about the writing process.
According to Dawn Osborne, Celebration organizer and daughter of founder Jeanne Penn Lane, “Affording the public the opportunity to meet and hear authors read from their work is vitally important. Kentucky has always been blessed with wonderfully talented writers and musicians and it continues today.”
“We tend to think of Kentucky’s traditions in terms of bourbon and horse racing, but our traditions of literature and music are just as strong and vibrant. Jeanne Penn Lane’s goal in founding the Celebration was to provide a no-cost experience where the public could connect with Kentucky writers and musicians.”
