A reception for authors Betty Burnett, “St. Louis At War,” and Delphine McClellan, “We Stayed To Fight For City Living” will be held Sunday, November 22, 2 to 4 pm at Central Library, 1301 Olive St.
The St. Louis Public Library wishes to be known as a center that promotes and encourages local authors.
To further this goal the Library will hold the first in a series of book receptions for local authors. “St. Louis At War” chronicles the war effort of our city from 1941 to 1945.
The contributions made by St. Louisians are impressive and surprising. “We Stayed To Fight For City Living” tells the tale of the struggle to preserve the Central West End.
A few people, aided by officials and friends, managed to save what is now a thriving, revitalized area. Burnett and McClellan will autograph copies of their books at the reception.
