This summer, the Hennepin County Library will be putting authors on its walls, not just on its shelves.

The library will host "Author, Author," an exhibition of portraits of more than 50 writers, screenwriters and playwrights by photographer Michael Childers.

As part of the Talk of the Stacks series and in celebration of the exhibit opening, Childers will give an informal lecture on his work and life.
