Meet several visiting authors this spring during the Des Moines Public Library's eighth annual AViD (Authors Visiting in Des Moines) Author Series! Free and open to the public, these talks by current and contemporary writers typically run from April through June (and perhaps beyond). From Spain to Scotland, from the streets of Baltimore to the open plains of Depression-era rural Iowa, AViD presents a selection of visiting authors so diversely entertaining that you'll be anxiously waiting to see who's coming next!
