Celebrating Willa Cather

Join us for a celebration of Willa Cather! This reception will feature remarks by Ashley Olson, Executive Director of the National Willa Cather Center, as well as a talk by Cather scholar Steve Shively on Willa's connection to Lincoln. A dialogue with artist Littleton Alston, creator of the Cather sculpture recently installed at the National Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol Building, will precede the reveal of the Library's own Cather statuette that was donated by Lincoln residents Glenda Pierce and Jeff Kirkpatrick. This gift will be on permanent display at Gere Branch Library.

Free to attend!
