 Singer and author Dar Williams will be coming to Wenatchee, Leavenworth and Chelan for a week of community-building activities starting Tuesday, Oct. 2. Her visit will include a free musical event at Pybus Public Market on Friday night!

North Central Regional Library is partnering with several organizations to bring Williams here. In her bestselling book What I Found in a Thousand Towns,
the singer/songwriter shares her thoughts on what makes successful communities thrive. You can find copies of her book at many of our libraries, or

During her visit, Williams will tour the three cities with students and community leaders, pushing them to thinking outside the box to address challenges
and define a better sense of community.
