George Frazier's Riverine Dreams
Lawrence's own George Frazier, author of The Last Wild Places of Kansas, has a new book! Join us as he shares stories from Riverine Dreams: Away to the Glorious and Forgotten Grassland Rivers of America. Prepare for tales of strange riverine forests left over from the ice age, leviathan fish migrations, modern grizzlies roaming the plains, endangered plants as rare as mastodon ivory, an audacious plan to return 10,000 bison to a Great Plains biosphere reserve—and, of course, river otter mayhem. Lawrence Public Library is partnering with Friends of the Kaw, Great Blue Heron Outdoors, and Raven Book Store to offer this community event.
Event Location is at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St, Lawrence, KS 66044
Doors open to the public at 1:30 pm.
Event is free and open to the public. Registration is appreciated but not required. Questions? Ask Shirley: sbraunlich@lplks.org.
