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.
