Join us for a story time and for a "make your own mini coloring book" activity with author-illustrator Mark Gonyea!

ABOUT THE BOOK: A sleep deprived kid creates monsters of his own to banish the ones that are keeping him awake in this fiendishly funny picture book that's the perfect counting and bedtime story. In graphic artist and designer Mark Gonyea's clever counting book, a little boy snuggles in for a nap, but much to his surprise, silly little monsters pop up wherever he looks.

Berlin

Burlington

Thursday, October 18 at 7:00 pm

Join Jason Lutes for a talk on his new book, Berlin. Twenty years in the making, this sweeping masterpiece charts Berlin through the rise of Nazism.

ABOUT THE BOOK: During the past two decades, Jason Lutes has quietly created one of the masterworks of the graphic novel golden age. Serialized in twenty-two issues, collected in two volumes, with a third to be released at the same time as this omnibus, Berlin has more than 100,000 copies in print and is one of the high-water marks of the medium: rich in its well-researched historical detail, compassionate in its character studies, and as timely as ever in its depiction of a society slowly awakening to the stranglehold of fascism.

Join Archer Mayor for a talk on his new Joe Gunther novel, Bury the Lead!

Despite Mick’s ready admission, investigators quickly sense there might be more going on than is immediately apparent.
