Jeff Zaslow, Wall Street Journal columnist and co-author of the The Last Lecture, will speak at the Orlando Public Library on Friday, September 11 at 7 p.m.

Zaslow helped the late Randy Pausch share his last lecture in the powerful bestselling book.  With eloquence and inspiration, the book imparts key messages about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of seizing every moment and making time for what matters.  During these down economic times, his simple lessons are more important than ever. 

His second book on The New York Times bestseller list, The Girls from Ames, tells the true story of a group of women and their 40-year friendship.  

Zaslow is currently coauthoring Highest Duty, the autobiography of Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, famous for landing US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River. The book is expected to be released October 13, 2009.

Enjoy live music, hors d’oeuvres, wine and a book sale and signing.  Presented by Bright House Networks, this evening will brighten your outlook with its motivational and moving message.

Tickets are $50 each and all proceeds benefit the Orange County Library System.  Purchase online, by phone at 407.835.7481 or in person at the library system’s Community Relations Office on the third floor of the Orlando Public Library.
