Author Signing with Melissa DiVietri at Barnes & Noble Ledgewood

Join internationally exhibiting abstract artist and disability advocate Melissa DiVietri for a special local author signing.

This meaningful community event brings together storytelling, education, and real-life experience to highlight inclusion awareness, service animal education, and disability representation.

Guests will also have the opportunity to meet Melissa and her service dog, hear about real-life experiences navigating the world with mobility differences, and learn how creativity, courage, and education can help build stronger, more inclusive communities.

This event is perfect for families, educators, students, advocates, and anyone who values meaningful conversation around representation and understanding. Come say hello, get your books signed, and be part of an inspiring afternoon. 💫
