Everybody Reads Beth Piatote

COLFAX— The Colfax branch of the Whitman County Library is hosting Beth Piatote for a meet-the-author luncheon at the Center Tuesday, Nov. 1 at 12 p.m.

Piatote will discuss her book, “The Beadworkers,” a short story collection set in Native Idaho and the Northwest. Piatote will be doing a reading at several locations across the Palouse and Lewiston-Clarkston Valley, Nov. 1-4.

There will be community conversation with the author during the questions and answer portion at the event.

Piatote is an Associate Professor at the University of California – Berkeley, a creative writer of fiction, poetry, plays, and essays; and an Indigenous language revitalization activist/healer, specializing in Nez Perce language and literature.

Residents can pick up their copy of “The Beadworkers” at any branch of Whitman County Library and local participating libraries and bookstores. There are extra copies of the Everybody Reads book in preparation for the event, but a book is not needed to attend the event.
