Trivia tonight
We call it Trivia Night, but it's really a community night as we work to provide a "third space" beyond home and work where we can rebuild a sense of community. Let's make downtown NA a destination urban lifestyle district, OK?
At 8 Friday night we'll convene for a fun night of general team trivia. We're going to set up a "Book Lust" night on some future Friday in January, but this will be a low-tech night at your favorite Destination(s).
Saturday is going to be hopping. At 10 a.m. we'll kick off the activities with our Children's Story Hour, then shift at 11 to an adult perspective by bringing in mystery writer Laura Young for a seminar on "The Mystery of Publishing: How to Get Your Novel in Print Without Killing Someone."
Laura will sign autographs following her presentation and answer questions about her Kate Kelly mysteries "Otherwise Engaged" and "Killer Looks." Come out and welcome Laura (she's from Louisville) and show the publishing world that Southeast Indiana will support books and writers.
We're pleased to host a store tour, reading, and activity hour for a troop of local Daisy Girl Scouts at 2 and then we'll set up for a 6 o'clock poetry reading from "A Companion for Owls." IU professor Maurice Manning channels Dan'l Boone in this enjoyable collection that imagines the frontiersman as a more contemplative soul than history actually records. We were privileged to hear Manning read from the work in Atlanta earlier this fall and loved it. If the community responds well, we'll have Manning come down this winter to give us more.
Sunday will be less hectic, but look for our ad in The Tribune for details on "State of Fear Day," coming Tuesday. We're still soliciting entries in our contest for the most creative "guess" at what the book is all about. The winner will receive a free, and rare, autographed copy of the most-anticipated release of the season.
It's really not too late. Just send us a quick paragraph telling us what you imagine Michael Crichton might be planning with "State of Fear."
Patron Passport members, existing and new (you can still join and it's free), can pick up the book on the cheap and take home a $10 BookSense Gift Card.
