Batavia's Books Between Bites welcomes Rick Kogan April 20

Batavia's popular monthly noontime book program, Books Between Bites, welcomes back Rick Kogan, of the Chicago Tribune and WGN Radio, at noon Thursday, April 20, at Batavia Public Library, 10 S. Batavia Ave. The public is invited to attend this free program and registration is not required.

Kogan returns for his 19th visit to the program and plans to talk about the recent death of Jimmy Breslin, the last of the big city newspaper columnists, a bit about Royko, and share some great video clips of his favorite media colleagues. Loving to interact with the audience, he always includes time for some Q&A.

The program is held in the large Founders Room located on the main level of the library. Parking is available in the lot just south and adjacent to the library. People are invited to bring their lunch and eat as they enjoy the program and discussion. Lunch items, beverages and baked goods can be purchased at Chapters Coffee House & Café, located just inside the library and adjacent to the meeting room. To pre-order for pick-up just before the program, call (630) 406-8005.

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 co-sponsorship with George H. Scheetz and Stacey Peterson of Batavia Public Library.
