AUTHOR TO VISIT (LIBRARY NAME) TO TALK ABOUT BOOK ON SHELTER AND RESCUE PETS 

Don’t miss author Chris O’Donnell when she visits (Library name) on (date) at (time) to hear about her book, "Animal Friends, tail wagging and throat purring stories of shelter and rescue pets." 

The book is a collection of heartwarming and inspiring stories of formerly homeless pets and how they have enriched the lives of their new families.  From dogs and cats to Pepper the pot-bellied pig, you’ll see how these animals repaid tenfold the kindness and love given them.   

Copies of the book will be available for sale and all author and writer proceeds go to homeless animals.  Katie, the white boxer therapy dog who Chris adopted from a shelter, will also be attending to “sign” books.   

For more information please visit the book's web site at www.animalfriendsbook.com or call the (Name) Library at (phone number).
