We are thrilled to welcome award-winning author and naturalist Sy Montgomery to Livonia Public Library via Zoom!  Montgomery’s book Of Time and Turtles: Mending the World, Shell by Shattered Shell is the featured title for the City of Livonia’s 2024 One City, One Book event.

Montgomery’s 34 books have garnered many honors. The Soul of an Octopus was a 2015 Finalist for the National Book Awards. The Good Good Pig, her memoir of life with her pig, Christopher Hogwood, is an international bestseller.  She has been chased by an angry silverback gorilla in Zaire and bitten by a vampire bat in Costa Rica, worked in a pit crawling with 18,000 snakes in Manitoba and handled a wild tarantula in French Guiana.  

We hope you'll join us in the auditorium for a virtual visit and Q&A with the author The Boston Globe called “Part Indiana Jones and part Emily Dickinson.”

If you prefer to attend remotely via Zoom, please register below. All registered attendees will be emailed the Zoom access link one hour prior to the program. Registration is not required if you would like to attend in person in the Library's auditorium.
