Eugene Book Festival

The Lane Library League is a non-profit volunteer group working to expand and improve library service throughout Lane County. Our fundraising event will be held in the Gleason Atrium of the Lane Events Center, next door to the Holiday Market. Meet authors and artists! Buy autographed books and art! Come meet Anthea Creston and purchase your own copy of her memoir Crescendo: Chronicles of an Adventurous Violinist! In Crescendo, her enchanting and deeply personal memoir, Kreston writes about growing up in a well-to-do but difficult family in Chicago, leaving home at sixteen, studying at the ultracompetitive Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia (Hilary Hahn was a classmate), then leaving it all behind for a commune in Oregon.
