The public is invited to attend a free event later this week to hear from a local author.
The Butler Area Public Library is hosting Butler native Janet Gall Piper, to read from her new historical fiction novel “From the Drop of Heaven” and sign copies at 6 p.m. Wednesday.
Piper, who writes as Juliette Godot, released her book in August and received the Royal Palm Literary Gold Medal award. A limited number of books will be available for purchase at a discount Wednesday.
Piper is a 1980 graduate of Butler High School. She and her husband now split their time between Butler and Florida.
