Spring is in the air as Chicago Public Library continues its One Book, One Chicago programs with an assortment of interesting and noteworthy events that touch on such topics as public skate parks, social change and gender identity as part of its monthly Authors @ the Library series. In addition, a group of Chicago’s bestselling authors will offer readings and discussions about their work. As always, this free monthly series is presented on behalf of the Library’s ongoing commitment to Strengthen Communities, Support Economic Advancement and Nurture Learning. All of the author events take place in the Cindy Pritzker Auditorium, lower level, at the Harold Washington Library Center, 400 S. State St.
