Award-Winning Novelist Set to Visit Ludington Library

On June 8, Ludington Library hosted an alligator. Two months later, the 5 South Bryn Mawr Avenue space will have a slightly more conventional, though no less extraordinary, guest.

On August 6, award-winning young adult novelist A.S. King will visit Ludington for a book singing and question and answer session in the library's new teen room. 

King, a Berks County resident who grew up in Reading, is the author of four novels and a fifth, titled Reality Boy, that is slated for an October release. She has also written a collection of short stories for adults.

King's 2012 novel, Ask the Passengers, won the prestigious Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the Pennsylvania Library Association’s 2013 Carolyn W. Field Award, awarded to “recognize the best books for young people by a Pennsylvania author or illustrator each year.”

At the event, sponsored by the Montgomery County Library and Information Consortium, King will discuss her novels, and the process of writing.

A prize drawing will be held and, yes, refreshments will be served.

A.S. King will visit Ludington Library on August 6 at 4 p.m. For more information on the event, contact Lizzie Barrie (610)525-1776 or ebarrie@lmls.org.
