New York Times best-selling author Beatriz Williams will be speaking at the Selma-Dallas County Public Library on Wednesday at noon.

Williams, who writes historical fiction, will be promoting her latest novel, The Beach at Summerly, which is part of the Lunch at the Library series.

A Seattle native, Williams currently lives near the Connecticut shore with her husband and four children. She graduated from Stanford University with an MBA in Finance from Columbia University

Selma-Dallas County Public Library Executive Director  Becky Nichols said they are grateful to have talented and successful authors speak.

“We are lucky each month to attract authors from all over the country,” Nichols said. “Once they have been to Selma, they taste the hospitality and graciousness of our community. That spreads a positive word about Selma to other places and faces- and that is a good thing.’’

Tickets for the event are still available. The cost is $15. Call the library at 874 1725 or email dana @selmalibrary.org.

Lunch at the Library is sponsored by Big River Car Wash.
