A Canadian author is coming to the Richmond Public Library (RPL) for an exclusive, one-night-only, event this summer.

RPL’s One Book, Three Cities program, which launched on July 4, is inviting Yann Martel, author of Life of Pi, to come and chat with his readers and fans.

Martel will talk about his writing journey and upcoming projects as well as answer any questions from the audience.

The event will take place in the Launchpad at the Brighouse branch of RPL on Aug. 1 from 7-8:30 p.m.

Everyone going to the event will have an opportunity to purchase an autographed copy of his book Life of Pi from Indigo Books.

This is a registered event and only a few seats remain. People can reserve their seats here.
