Mike Lupica Author Visit (Think Sports Fiction!)
We're so excited to announce that Mike Lupica will be visiting the Library on April 29th! Read all about it!
Mike Lupica, nationally-known sports journalist and author, will be at the Darien Library on Tuesday, April 29 at 4 p.m. to talk about his books for children and young adults. Families with children ages 8 and up are invited to attend.
Mike Lupica is a renowned sports journalist with a syndicated column at the New York Daily News. A TV anchor for ESPN’s “The Sports Reporters,” he has also appeared recently on The Today Show, The Early Show and Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Lupica writes emotionally gripping sports fiction for adults as well as children and teens. While adults may recognize titles like Wild Pitch and Bump and Run, he is equally popular with young readers. Some of his most popular novels for children and teens include Travel Team, Summer Ball, and his most recent novel, The Big Field. In The Big Field, 14-year-old Hutch regrets losing his shortstop position and struggles to understand his father’s resentment of the game. One of his juvenile titles for children, Heat, is a 2009 Connecticut Nutmeg Book Award nominee. Copies of the author’s books will be available for purchase and signing during the event.
There is no registration required for this program. Seating begins 15 minutes prior to the program.
