X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Join Fairfield County District Library in 
 welcoming local author and tech journalist\, Rebecca Fannin\, for an eveni
 ng of conversation about her newly released book\, <em>Silicon Heartland. 
 </em>Fannin's latest book is an extensive examination of the migration of 
 Silicon Valley tech giants to the Central Ohio area\, and their developmen
 t and investment in and around Fairfield County.</p>\n<p>Rebecca will be h
 ere to do a book talk\, sign purchasable copies\, and speak with patrons a
 bout her work. Mayor David Scheffler will also be in attendance\, conducti
 ng a one-on-one fireside chat with the author as part of the program.</p>\
 n<p>Chronicling her return to America's heartland\, CNBC contributor Rebec
 ca A. Fannin provides an optimistic and engaging look at the current entre
 preneurial comeback happening in the Midwest\, documenting its transformat
 ion from Rust Belt to Tech Belt. The American Midwest was once a proud bas
 tion of good-paying jobs and middle-class life. Recently it has come to ev
 oke bleakness: job loss\, opiate addiction\, despair. But without fanfare\
 , a pivotal movement has grown\, quietly transforming the heartland into a
  high-tech hub\, including central Ohio as an epicenter.</p>\n<p>In Silico
 n Heartland\, tech journalist Rebecca A. Fannin returns to her hometown re
 gion to report on how tech ecosystems&mdash\;of entrepreneurial talent\, v
 enture capital\, accelerators\, incubators\, universities\, and R&amp\;D a
 re retooling mid-sized heartland cities and Appalachian towns. Remote regi
 ons that were nearly forgotten when the money and power shifted to Silicon
  Valley&mdash\;and to China&mdash\;are being rebooted and re-energized lik
 e never before. This movement of tech startups burgeoning in Middle Americ
 a bodes well not only for leading the region to greater heights but also f
 or boosting our economy and morale nationwide.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><strong>Re
