Submitted by Batavia Public Library

Batavia’s popular monthly noontime book program, Books Between Bites, welcomes back ESPN editor Lester Munson Thursday, Feb. 21. He will discuss the books “Over Time: My Life as a Sportswriter” by Frank Deford and “Dream Team” by Jack McCallum. The monthly series is held from noon to 1 p.m. at the Batavia Public Library, 10 S. Batavia Ave.

Munson attended Notre Dame University with Deford and has often shared stories about the popular sports writer at his annual visits to the program. The full title of McCallum’s book is “Dream Team: How Michael, Magic, Larry, Charles and the Greatest Team of All Time Conquered the World and Changed the Game of Basketball Forever” and is about the winning 1992 Olympic basketball team. Munson always has time to answer questions and give his thoughts on current sports issues and this program will be a real treat for sports fans.
