The Catawba County Library will be hosting Tamra Wilson, local author and columnist at The Hickory Daily Record, Observer-News-Enterprise and Lincoln Herald, to discuss her new book and how it benefits the community. The program will take place at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 3 at the Main Library in Newton. Wilson has partnered with Redhawk Publishing, an initiative of Catawba Valley Community College, to compile a collection of her newspaper columns to benefit The Corner Table, a local soup kitchen. Going Plaid in a Solid Gray World, Collected Columns offers 135 short slice-of-life essays that have appeared in area newspapers since 2015.  Copies of the book will be available for purchase during this program. A portion of the proceeds will benefit The Corner Table soup kitchen in Newton.
