Library Foundation

2010 - 2011 Tickets Now Available!

The Pen Pals Author Lecture series is the longest running and most highly regarded literary series in the Twin Cities. With over 850 loyal subscribers, Pen Pals might be considered the biggest book club in the Twin Cities. All proceeds benefit the Library Foundation of Hennepin County and the Hennepin County Library system. Last year, the series raised more than $165,000 to support the work of the Library Foundation.

Held at the Hopkins Center for the Arts, the new season we will welcome acclaimed authors Lorna Landvik, Bill Bryson, Ann Patchett, Mark Doty, and Dave Eggers.
