David Chura has written and lectured extensively on incarcerated youth, speaking from 40 years of experience. Don't miss hearing him read from and talk about his riveting book, I Don't Wish Nobody to Have a Life Like Mine: Tales of Kids in Adult Lockup, on Saturday, February 26. Booklist said "Chura recalls the raw, gritty emotions of young men with little education and few options, exercising sometimes violent and childish outlets for all that wild, pent-up adolescent energy...Chura offers a compelling look at the failings of the juvenile justice system." Mr. Chura will speak at 2 p.m. in the Community Room of the Central Library, 220 State Street, Springfield. Copies of his book will be available for sale and signing. Please call (413) 263-6828, ext. 213 for more information.
