There will be snacks and coffee. Come join the conversation.

Book launch for Peter Nordgren's "A Place on Water"
If you and your family moved to the shore of a small northern Wisconsin lake, what would you find there?
That’s the question answered in “A Place on Water,” a new book by Lake Nebagamon writer Peter D. Nordgren. Readers will enjoy a close-up the fauna and flora of the small property on which the Nordgrens build their new home. Along the way, tales are shared of a lifetime spent in Wisconsin’s north country.
In fifty-two short essays, Nordgren takes readers around the lake, into the depths, along the shore, and up into the branches of the forest.
Nordgren will read from his book, sign copies and talk about his writer’s journey.
