BPL will host an Author Visit with Tom Lambert, author of Living with Earl, on March 10 at 6:30 p.m. In Living with Earl, Tom receives a visitor who seems to transcend time, logic, and even death. This visitor claims to be Mark Twain, and does so convincingly. The times host and visitor share are both humorous and thought provoking, and their bond and similarities unveil with every passing day.
