The Associates of the Boston Public Library came alive with literary excitement on October 1, 2024, with our annual Writer-in-Residence Reception in the Boston Public Library's Rabb Hall. This Reading and Reception was unlike any other, as the Associates celebrated 20 years of the historic program with Special Guest Speaker, acclaimed YA and Childrens' author, Lois Lowry.
