Behold, The Picture Book! Let’s Celebrate Stories We Can Feel, Hear, and See with Mac Barnett

Award-winning author Mac Barnett is excited to share his passion for picture books with children and adults. The tradition of the picture book is a tradition of experimentation, just like childhood itself. Every page turn contains infinite possibilities – a journey of discovery and connections. On his nationwide tour as National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, Mac invites readers of all ages to join him in celebrating what’s vibrant, joyful and inspiring about this quintessential American art form.

Join us for this very special evening open to the public on Wednesday, May 20 at 6 p.m. at Mitchell Auditorium at The College of St. Scholastica. Books will be on sale and Mac will be available to sign copies following the program. Free tickets are available here. Advance registration is strongly encouraged, but not required.

“What excites me is the living, thinking, feeling kid who exists right now and needs a good story. Magic is
what happens at that moment in childhood.”
— Mac Barnett, National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature

Photographs and video will be taken and used for promotional and archival purposes by the National Ambassador program, the Duluth Library Foundation, and the Duluth Public Library. Please see a staff member with questions or if you prefer not to be photographed.
