Award-winning author Lindsay H. Metcalf will be in Council Grove to celebrate EARTH DAY. Join us at the Council Grove Public Library for Story Hour at 10 AM-11 AM. She will be meeting with High School English Classes throughout the day and will be a guest at the first USD 417 YOUNG ADULT BOOK CLUB meeting, facilitated by Sarah Malcomb.

Metcalf will be at the bookstore from 1:15-2 PM to sign her books.

Metcalf’s newest book FOOTEPRINT: Eunice Newton Foote at the Dawn of Climate Science and Women’s Rights is a creatively told biography/fictional history of a female scientist who discovered the effect of carbon dioxide on our environment years before the man who is recognized as the Father of Climate Science. Did he steal Foote’s idea? Like some stole her patents for a self-regulating stove? Find out more about this amazing female scientist and her intimate connection to history.
