Local author, Teri Lukken, signed copies of her two new children’s books at the Ponca Carnegie Library on Saturday, December 5, from 1:00 – 4:00. Members of Friends of the Library hosted the event, which was open to the public, and provided refreshments.
Teri Lukken describes herself as a wife, mother of two, and a grandmother of two. She says she has always loved reading, especially to children. The love of books inspired her to fulfill a dream of publishing her own children’s books.
Ms. Lukken was Ponca Carnegie Library’s director for 14 years at and she is now office manager at Aitken Family Dentistry. According to Lukken, “I write poetry and short stories in my spare time when I’m not busy with scrapbook, crochet, and puzzle projects. I love living in Ponca where the life is good and the simple things mean the most.”
Lukken’s books are “I Love Papa and Papa Loves Me” and “Look Up Look Up!” This book signing was an opportunity for the community to support a local author and perhaps purchase signed copies of Teri’s books as Christmas gifts.
