The Central Library is sponsoring a fall lecture series featuring authors with a chance to meet them. It starts at 7:30 p.m. Friday in the Central Library Parlor.

The first event brings Michael Poss, author of Ebby Halliday: The First Lady of Real Estate, and his talk will be about real estate in today’s economy. Halliday is a Dallas real estate agent. “The book chronicles Halliday’s life and business success with intriguing stories, charming humor and business wisdom,” according to the book’s Web site, ebbysbook.com. Copies of Poss’ book will be available for buy after the presentation and both speakers will sign autographs.

The program is a social event to meet local authors and hear them talk about their books, said Tommie Wingfield, Friends of the UT Arlington Library president. The event is open to the public but people need to reserve spots, she said. As of Wednesday, 94 people had registered for the room that can accommodate 120.

Michael Poss is a life-long Dallas resident and serves as webmaster of PerotCharts.com, a site devoted to explaining economic problems facing the country.
