[CASL-L] Local Author Visits - Diverse Focus

[Lisa Chlebowski]

We just hosted Abdul-Razak Zachariah.  He grew up in West Haven and wrote about experiences growing up in an apartment complex.  His book The Night Is Yours is beautiful and he was an amazing presenter.  He’s currently a grad student at Harvard so he presented between his classes. We booked him through RJ Julia.
