Batavia's Books Between Bites welcomes Amy Dickinson May 25

Batavia's popular monthly noontime Books Between Bites concludes its season on Thursday, May 25, welcoming author and syndicated advice columnist Amy Dickinson. The program, originally scheduled for May 18, will begin at noon at Batavia Public Library, 10 S. Batavia Ave. The public is invited to attend this free program and registration is not required.

Dickinson is author of The New York Times best-selling memoir "The Mighty Queens of Freeville: A Story of Surprising Second Chances," a chronicle of her experiences and misadventures as a single mother to her daughter, Emily. Her newest book is "Strangers Tend to Tell Me Things." She also writes the syndicated advice column "Ask Amy," which is carried in over 150 newspapers and read by an estimated 22 million readers daily. Known for her wisdom and wit, Dickinson is a frequent featured panelist on National Public Radio's comedy quiz show, "Wait Wait … Don't Tell Me!" Her books will be available for sale and signing at the May 25 program.

Books Between Bites is held in the large Founders Room located on the main level of the Batavia Public Library. Parking is available in the lot just south and adjacent to the library. A large crowd is anticipated, so people are encouraged to arrive early to find parking and a seat.

Books Between Bites is presented at noon on the third Thursday of the months September through May. It was established in Batavia in 1987 by the late Lee C. Moorehead and has been continued by Moorehead's wife, Betty, and his daughter, Becky Hoag, in partnership and cosponsorship with George H. Scheetz and Stacey Peterson of Batavia Public Library.
