Children’s author Laura Gehl to read at Lewes library Oct. 22
The Lewes Public Library will welcome Laura Gehl for a children’s story reading and meet-the-author event at 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 22, at the library, 111 Adams Ave. in Lewes.
Gehl will read her new picture book, “The Elevator on 74th Street,” a story about a warmhearted elevator that is part matchmaker, part friend and all sweetness.
“Dr. Gehl has a remarkable gift for crafting stories that are both imaginative and deeply resonant for young readers,” said Jennifer Noonan, children’s librarian. “We’re thrilled to welcome her in person to hear her bring this delightful new book to life.”

Laura Gehl is the award-winning author of more than 50 picture books, board books and early readers including “One Big Pair of Underwear,” the Peep and Egg series, “My Pillow Keeps Moving,” “Donut” and “Odd Birds.” Her titles have been honored as International Literacy Association Honor Book, New York Public Library Best Book of the Year, Booklist Books for Youth Editors’ Choice and Dolly Parton Imagination Library selections, to name only a few.
