In April 2015 Coffee House author Kao Kalia Yang (The Latehomecomer: A Hmong Family Memoir, 2008) took residency at the St. Paul Public Library’s remodeled Sun Ray branch to create new work and design a public program to (re)engage the neighborhood with their new library. Yang addresses the immigrant experience and helps facilitate storytelling both on and off the page.
