Luther Book Shop and Book Signings
Visit the Luther Book Shop in Dahl Centennial Union for displays of our presenters’ books to purchase, along with books by some of our attendees. You may purchase Robert Cording’s books and have them signed at the Festival reception following the Friday evening keynote address. Other presenters, including keynoter René Steinke, will sign books just outside the Book Shop during the lunch break on Saturday (11:40-1:00), and during the late afternoon reception on Saturday (5:40-6:30). Please note in the program that we have scheduled particular authors at particular times. We ask that you first purchase the books and then go to the signing tables.
The Book Shop hours are 8:45 a.m.--6:00 p.m. Friday and 10:00 a.m.--6:30 p.m. Saturday. It is closed on Sunday.
Open Mike
The Open Microphone (10:00 p.m. Friday, Peace Dining Room, Dahl Centennial Union) is intended for those Festival attendees who would like to publicly read their own work. You may sign up Friday at the registration table to read (3-minute maximum time for each reader), but you are also welcome to sign up at the event itself. Readers will go in the order in which they signed up. This reading is planned and hosted by Luther’s Alpha Beta Xi chapter of the national English honorary society, Sigma Tau Delta.
Please find time to enjoy the art exhibits on campus planned in conjunction with the Festival. In the Center for Faith and Life Upper Lobby is an exhibit of the work of Judy Dodds, a professional calligrapher from St. Paul, Minnesota, with an extensive list of exhibitions, awards, commissions and collections to her credit. A BA in Education from Pacific Lutheran, Judy is a member of the Colleagues of Calligraphy.
Gena Ollendieck’s handmade books are on exhibit in Preus Library. Gena is a professional book maker and the owner/operator of Indigo Star Books in Cresco, Iowa. A BA in art and art education from Central College in Pella, Iowa, Gena has done graduate work at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her work has been widely exhibited at galleries, fairs and shows throughout the upper Midwest.
Book Transformations, a sampling of student work in the fall semester’s Art Foundations class, is on exhibit in the hallway display cases across from Sunnyside Café in the Center for the Arts Atrium.
Luggage Storage Space
On Sunday morning, a locked space is available for storing luggage in the Student Activities Office off the main lobby in the Dahl Centennial Union (across from the Book Shop). An attendant will be available to give you access to the room Sunday morning from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Student Housing in Residence Halls
If you are a visiting college student who indicated at registration that you wished to be housed in the residence halls with a Luther student host, your host will meet you in the CFL lobby at the registration table on Friday night at 8:45 p.m. (immediately after the opening session).
All outside doors to the residence halls will be locked at 10:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday and unlocked at 8:00 a.m. the next day. Make arrangements with your host if you need to enter the hall between these hours.
Smoking
Smoking is not allowed anywhere on the Luther College campus in compliance with the Iowa Smokefree Air Act. Maps indicating where smoking is allowed near campus are available at the registration table.
Emergency Phone
In the event of an emergency, call Luther campus security (563-387-2111; from campus phones, dial only 2111).
Hearing Devices
Inquire at the registration table if you need a hearing device.
Audio/Video Taping and Photography
Photography and Recording Devices are strictly forbidden during the Festival. Please turn off all cell phones and watch alarms, and silence all paging devices.
Lutheran Writers Project
The Lutheran Writers Project, directed by fiction-writer Paul Shepherd, grew out of the 2007 Lutheran Festival of Writing. The Project provides resources and gathering opportunities for writers, readers, and institutions--including churches, schools, colleges, and churchwide organizations. Its official home is at Roanoke College (Salem, VA), and its website is <http://www.lutheranwriters.org/>. The Project’s mission includes engaging the imagination of the Lutheran church, serving those who create and read literature of spiritual and literary depth, and providing opportunities for dialogue among writers, readers, teachers, pastors, and Lutheran institutions. One major piece of LWP’s mission includes sponsoring the Lutheran Readers Project, directed by novelist Mark Mustian, which selects books to offer to individuals and reading groups, including study guides and interviews with the writers. For more information and to offer suggestions, please attend the panel session “Readers and Writers Networking.”
Supporting the Festival
Luther College hopes to continue sponsoring the Festival as an ongoing triennial event, but it takes funding to keep the Festival going. We are grateful for some generous gifts which allowed us to begin building our Endowment, but we will need more to insure the Festival’s continuation. Please consider gift to support this important work. Go to the LFW website and click on “Give to the Festival” or go to <givenow.luther.edu> and specify your gift for the Lutheran Festival of Writing Endowment. We appreciate our growing number of Friends of the Festival.
Acknowledgments
The LFW National Advisory Board and the Luther College Planning Board wish to thank the Friends of the Festival for their donations to the Lutheran Festival of Writing Endowment, which helps to make this Festival possible. Additional funding and other support comes from the Luther College English Department and the Lectures and Fine Arts Committee. Luther’s Alpha Beta Xi chapter of the English honorary society, Sigma Tau Delta, helped in the planning and hosting of the event. Other volunteers—both student and community members—were invaluable in planning and hosting the Fest.
