Join us for a special Community Reads book discussion! Polly Letofsky, author of 3mph: The Adventures of One Woman's Walk Around the World will be making an appearance at the Penn Theatre on Sunday, June 2 at 2:00pm. As a lead-up to that program, we'd like to introduce you to her work. The first ten people to register for this book discussion will receive a free copy of the book, which the author can sign for you at the Penn Theatre event! Library staff will contact you to pick up your copy if you are among the first ten on the list. A few other copies will be available for check-out if you'd like to attend the discussion, but are not one of the first ten.
From Amazon.com:
"Polly Letofsky left her Colorado home and headed west across 4 continents and over 14,000 miles--by foot--to become the first woman to walk around the world. In a spirit of adventure, along with the goal of raising global awareness for breast cancer, strangers welcomed her into their homes. The world had embraced her. But in the middle of Polly's journey, 9/11 flung us all into a crossroads in world history, and she found herself navigating a vastly changing world.
Polly's GlobalWalk has been featured in over 2,000 newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations around the world including Good Housekeeping, CNN International, The CBS Early Show, NBC’s Your Total Health, and Fine Living Channel's Radical Sabbatical. A documentary entitled Polly's GlobalWalk has been released by Newcastle Productions.
In 3mph she richly details her journey with humor and honest reflection, the good times and the hardships. Sometimes serious, sometimes funny, but always inspirational, her story encourages us all to take on our biggest challenges--one step at a time."
