DESCRIPTION:Join the Atchison County Library Thursday\, October 29\, 2026\, at 6:00 p.m. at the Tarkio Resource Center as the library welcomes Lauren Leach-Steffens! This is the last speaker/writer session of the year for the library.

She went home and proudly announced that she wanted to be a poet when she grew up. Her mother’s response? “Do you like to eat?” Thankfully\, Lauren didn’t let that stop her! She has recently begun writing novels\, blending modern-day life with a touch of other realities in both her romance and fantasy stories. As an associate professor of human services\, Lauren draws from psychology\, sociology\, and economics to bring realism to her stories\, while her wonderfully quirky way of looking at life brings the fantasy.
