The author of a bestseller about the migration of millions of blacks out of the American South in the mid-20th century will discuss her book at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Galaxie Library.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Isabel Wilkerson wrote "The Warmth of Other Suns," which is about three people leaving all they knew during the so-called Great Migration. The book was one of five picked by President Obama for his summer 2011 vacation.

The library is at 14955 Galaxie Av., Apple Valley. The event is free and doors open 45 minutes before the program begins.
