Friends of the Library Annual Author Luncheon
Judith Ryan, Amherst Friends of the Library

Amherst Public Library
October 1, 2009 -- On Thursday, Oct. 22nd, 2009 at 11:30 a.m., The Amherst Public Library (Website | Profile) will welcome Kelsey Timmerman, author of, "Where Am I Wearing". This event sells out every year. There are still a few tickets available. Tickets may be purchased for $15 at the Amherst Public Library.

What’s it like to go undercover as an underwear buyer in Bangladesh? Kelsey Timmerman can tell you. In 2007, he took out a second mortgage on his house so he could travel across the globe to meet the people who make our clothes. The result is his book, Where Am I Wearing? A Global Tour to the Countries, Factories, and People That Make Our Clothes. Says Timmerman: “If we reduce global issues to the stories of individual people, we can better see ourselves, our parents, our sons and daughters and our hopes and struggles in one another.”
