A Literary Legend Will Be Coming To Columbus Later This Year 😲📕

Welcome to March! Chelsea here.

We're starting this month off with some amazing news. Hold onto your hats, friends, because a straight-up literary titan is coming to Columbus this fall. The one, the only, Margaret Atwood will be gracing our lovely city with our presence. The Columbus Metropolitan Library, in association with several central Ohio libraries, will host A Conversation With Margaret Atwood, where fans can submit questions and even get books signed by Atwood. Blessed be the fruit, am I right?
