Author Marci Penner, who with her writing partner spent four years visiting all 626 incorporated cities and dozens of unincorporated spots in Kansas, will speak about her new book, “Kansas Guidebook 2,” at 7 p.m. June 6 at Marion City Library.

A project of Kansas Sampler Foundation, the book reads like a tourism guide but is designed to help preserve and sustain rural culture.

Its more than 4,500 entries and 1,700 pictures include information about 843 restaurants.

The book retails for $29.95. Penner will be signing copies at the library. Copies also may be ordered at http://kansassampler.org.

More information about her visit is available from the library at (620) 382-2442.
