The Lopez Library and Friends of the Lopez Library proudly present another program in our Winter Wanderlust Series (A wee bit ahead of the winter solstice). On Saturday, Dec.13 from 6 to 7 p.m. the library welcomes author Judith Gille. Gille takes you on a journey south to Mexico with readings from her book “The View from Casa Chepitos: A Journey Beyond the Border.” The book resonated with readers winning a 2014 Nautilus Award, a number nine spot on the Elliott Bay Books’ best-seller list, and the Grand Prize in Writer’s Digest’s Self-Published e-Book Awards. This beautiful story captures the author’s life in San Miguel de Allende and places a very human face on the immigration controversy. It also provides a loving glimpse of friendships and cross-cultural relationships as well as an intimate look at Mexican life. Gille of Seattle writes about Mexican art and culture and immigration issues. Her work has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, The Dallas Morning News, the Florida Sun-Sentinel and in numerous magazines, online literary journals and in anthologies. Join us for what promises to be a fascinating and insightful evening south of the border. The vent includes a slideshow and lecture in the  Lopez Library Community Room.
