Our project is particularly exciting because we are privileged to have John Grogan, author of Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog, speak at the Sandusky State Theatre on Thursday, November 1, through the courtesy of the Lange Trust of Sandusky Library. The author visit is free and open to the public. Mr. Grogan will discuss his book, answer questions, and autograph books. Copies of Marley & Me can be purchased prior to the event or that evening at the Sandusky State Theatre.
