Chicago stories are topic of authors' visit

Batavia's Books Between Bites welcomes the return of Rick Kogan and Charles Osgood to its monthly program at noon on Thursday, Dec. 17, at Batavia Public Library. They will share stories and photos from their new book, "Sidewalks II: Reflections on Chicago." This is their second collection of stories and photographs, where they take readers to different corners in and surrounding Chicago. Copies of their new book will be available for sale and signing during their visit to Batavia.

The public is welcome to this free hourlong program held in the community room at the Batavia Public Library, 10 S. Batavia Ave.

Parking is available in the lot just south and adjacent to the library. People are invited to bring their lunch to eat as they enjoy the program and discussion.

Coffee, soft drinks and cookies are available for sale. Lunch can also be pre-ordered and available for pickup just before the program from 10 South Coffee House in the library. Call (630) 406-8870 to order.
