Cleveland Public Library (CPL) welcomes best-selling author Temple Grandin on Saturday, March 9, 2013, at 2:00 p.m. in the Louis Stokes Wing Auditorium of CPL on East 6th Street and Superior Avenue.
"Temple Grandin has an incredible story to tell of preserving and thriving in spite of her autism,” said Felton Thomas, director of CPL. “Her story, and the compelling stories she shares about others facing similar challenges with autism, is one our patrons can connect and relate to.”
In addition to being a best-selling author, Temple Grandin is a scientist, scholar, and animal rights advocate. Grandin has been profiled on 20/20, ABC News, NPR, and in the New Yorker profile, “An Anthropologist on Mars.”
Her autobiography, Thinking in Pictures: and Other Reports From My Life With Autism (1995), is a revealing look at autism from the inside. Grandin’s book Animals in Translation (2005) was the culmination of 30 years of professional training as an animal scientist and her innate ability, born from her very handicap, to understand the animal brain.
Grandin’s newest book Different…Not Less (2012) offers the world yet another inspiring and informative story, presenting the success stories of 14 unique individuals that illustrate the extraordinary potential of those along the autism spectrum.
This event is free and open to the public. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Books by the author will be available for purchase from A Cultural Exchange.
