Lisle Library District joins with local libraries to host actor and author Nick Offerman

On Wednesday, April 27, bestselling author and comedic actor Nick Offerman will be joined in conversation virtually with Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy.

It will begin at 7 p.m. via Zoom.

Offerman is best known for his role as Ron Swanson on "Parks & Recreation" and as host of NBC's "Making It."

Offerman and Tweedy, who are hiking buddies, will discuss Offerman's newest book "Where the Deer and the Antelope Play: The Pastoral Observations of One Ignorant American Who Loves to Walk Outside."

He has authored three other books including "Gumption," is the co-author of "The Greatest Love Story Ever Told," and publishes the Donkey Thoughts Substack newsletter. Born in Joliet and raised in nearby Minooka, he now lives in L.A. with his wife and fellow actor Megan Mullally. In his spare time, he can be found at his L.A. woodshop building hand-crafted items from wood.
