Bibliotheca sponsored the Opus & Olives 2021. This event is not your average virtual gala. This celebration includes four national bestselling authors coming directly to your home – and hundreds of fellow supporters watching from theirs – all in support of your Saint Paul Public Library. When you join us for Opus & Olives, you support early literacy, workforce development, and other lifelong learning opportunities for individuals of every age, ethnicity, and socioeconomic background. Your support is critical now more than ever. And you just might have some fun, too.
Featured Authors
- Wiley Cash, Emcee, author of When Ghosts Come Home
- Martha Hall Kelly, author of Sunflower Sisters
- James Oakes, author of The Crooked Path to Abolition: Abraham Lincoln and the Antislavery Constitution
- Kirstin Valdez Quade, author of The Five Wounds
We are pleased to share the recorded event with you. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
