Roseburg Public Library invites the community to a book reading and signing with New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune on Thursday night at 7:00 p.m.

Klune, who was born and raised in Roseburg, is on tour with his new novel, “In the Lives of Puppets,” a fantasy adventure inspired by Carlo Collodi’s “The Adventures of Pinnocchio”.  “Puppets” received a starred review by Library Journal, which called the book, “an epic quest of rescue and discovery with the author’s trademark charm, heart and bittersweetness”.

Klune has written more than thirty books and has received numerous honors. More information about the new book can be found at: www.tjklunebooks.com.

The program, which will be held in the library’s Ford Room, is free and open to the public. The library will give away 40 copies of “In the Lives of Puppets” to attendees through a random drawing. The giveaway is made possible by the Friends of the Roseburg Public Library and While Away Books.
