Distinguished author
Mitch Albom is making his second appearance with the Santa Clara County Library District’s Distinguished Author Series on Nov. 13 in support of his new book, appropriately titled “Twice.” Albom will discuss his book, which tells the story of a man who explores how unchecked desires might mean losing what he has had all along, at 7 p.m. at Campbell’s Heritage Theatre.
The talk will be followed by Q&A and a book signing. Attendees can purchase a copy of “Twice” at the talk and have it signed by Albom. Due to the expected popularity of the book signing, attendees are asked to refrain from bringing supplemental items for autographs.
The Distinguished Author Series is free and open to the public. To register, visit sccld.org/authorseries.
