"Mead Public Library is very pleased to offer the work of Betsy Michael for the 2009 'Sheboygan Reads' program," said library director Sharon Winkle. "We think her expression of her experiences will be familiar and, yet, informative to her fellow Sheboygan-area residents. We appreciate the generosity of The Sheboygan Press as it participates for the third time as co-sponsor of 'Sheboygan Reads.' We celebrate with the Mead Public Library Foundation its 20th anniversary and its continuing financial sponsorship of 'Sheboygan Reads.'"
