The Corwith Public Library proudly presents a program brought to you by the talented, James Williams. The Program will take place at the Corwith Public Library at 6:30pm on August 5th, 2019. I would like to encourage people of all ages to attend to learn more about this diagnosis. **The program is free and open to the public** A little bit about James: James Williams is an adult with autism. He was diagnosed at the age of 3, in 1991. He graduated from Glenbrook North High School in Northbrook, Illinois, in 2010. Today, he travels the United States lecturing on autism, and is the author of three books, OUT TO GET JACK, THE H.A.L. EXPERIMENT, and WHEN GARY COMES TO PLAY. He has attended the National Hobo Convention in Britt since 2004, where he has performed in the Hobo Jungle Entertainment for over 10 years, where he is known by his hobo name “The Pied Piper”.

We will have a movie and popcorn on August 14th from 1:30p-about 3p. This is a free program that is open to ages 5 and up. The librarian has chosen the movie- Pokémon: Detective Pikachu. Parents are welcome to drop off the kids and stay, or leave. It's completely up to you. We look forward to seeing everyone!
