Reading Public Library to Present Best Selling Author, Ultra Marathoner Dion Leonard

Reading Public Library will present a program featuring best-selling author Dion Leonard sharing the tale of “Finding Gobi, the True Story of One Little Dog’s Big Journey.”  The story sharing and book signing will be held on Saturday, November 12 at 12 pm in the Children’s area of Main Library, 100 S. Fifth St., Reading.

This bestselling memoir centers on Dion Leonard, an ultra marathoner who befriends a stray dog in China’s harsh Gobi Desert.  The dog, earning the name Gobi, eventually goes missing in a sprawling Chinese city and is reunited with Leonard after a global outpouring of assistance.  The heartwarming story is being made into a movie to be released in 2023/24.

This program will introduce the audience to Dion and Gobi in person. The event is free of charge and pre-registration is not required. Free parking is available behind the library on Wood Street.  For additional information, please contact the Reading Public Library, 610.655.6361

I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids.  This experience is more than the TV show.  Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference.
