Author Tim Green to speak at Arlington Heights Memorial Library

Arlington Heights Memorial Library

As a boy, Tim Green had two dreams: playing in the NFL and becoming a best-selling author. Both of those dreams have come true. After studying writing at Syracuse University where he was an All American football player, Tim was drafted in the first round of the NFL draft by the Atlanta Falcons where he was a top defensive player for eight years.

While Tim played in the NFL, he also studied law and began his writing career. By the time he retired from football in 1994, Tim had already published his first book and become a lawyer.

Green has visited more than 1,000 schools and spoken to nearly a half million students across the United States about the importance of education and character, in addition to the joys and benefits of reading!

On Thursday, September 24, Green will visit the Arlington Heights Memorial Library. Green's books will be available for purchase and there will be time for signing after his presentation. This author visit is presented in conjunction with School District 25.

Date: Thursday, September 24

Time: 6:30-8:30 p.m.

Location: Hendrickson Room

Doors open with refreshments at 6:30 p.m., with Green's presentation starting at 7 p.m. Recommended for ages second grade and older.
