SUMMARY:Climate-Fiction Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:About the Event: Join us in exploring exceptional works of climate fiction! We’ll use a different book each month as a jumping-off point for talking about our collective climate future. If you can’t read each month’s book cover-to-cover\, that’s okay–but the more you read\, the more meaningful the conversation. Led by aspiring climate writer Wendy Skinner\, with guest poets and writers. Free and open to all. \nOrder your books from BSB for a 10 percent discount. \nAbout the Book: When global climate change and economic crises lead to social chaos in the early 2020s\, California becomes full of dangers\, from pervasive water shortage to masses of vagabonds who will do anything to live to see another day. Fifteen-year-old Lauren Olamina lives inside a gated community with her preacher father\, family\, and neighbors\, sheltered from the surrounding anarchy. In a society where any vulnerability is a risk\, she suffers from hyperempathy\, a debilitating sensitivity to others’ emotions. Precocious and clear-eyed\, Lauren must make her voice heard in order to protect her loved ones from the imminent disasters her small community stubbornly ignores. But what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to something much more: the birth of a new faith . . . and a startling vision of human destiny.

SUMMARY:"The Skeleton Flute" Book Signing and Reading
DESCRIPTION:About the Event: Join us for a very fun (and spooky) reading with author Damara Allen! \nAbout the Book: \nThe legend of the Pied Piper meets Sal and Gabi Break the Universe with a touch of Coraline in this spooky and suspenseful middle grade adventure about a boy whose wish goes horribly wrong and his fight to reunite with his real family. \nSam Windsor’s parents and younger siblings\, Grayson and Addie\, are his whole world\, so when his parents announce they’re separating\, Sam is devastated. He’d do anything to make his parents change their minds and keep the family together. When a stranger offers a flute made of bone that supposedly grants the player’s wish\, Sam doesn’t really believe it will work but figures he has nothing to lose. Surprisingly\, the wish on the skeleton flute comes true. The next day\, his parents are happily in love\, with no plans for his dad to leave. But there’s a major problem: his parents’ relationship isn’t the only thing in his life that has changed\, and some of the changes are definitely for the worse. Caught in a world full of unintended consequences and familiar strangers\, Sam has limited options for returning to his old life—worries\, challenges\, and all. Can he track down the mysterious man who gave him the flute and undo his wish?

SUMMARY:"World Headquarters" Reading and Signing
DESCRIPTION:About the Event: Peter Fortunato will read from and sign copies of his new poetry collection World Headquarters. Peter Fortunato has published several other poetry collections\, the novel\, Carnevale (from Fomite Press) and a memoir\, Desert Wind: My Life in Qatar. \nAbout the Book: The three sections of World Headquarters resonate with and reinforce the interconnectedness among the local and universal\, the personal and political\, the human and non-human worlds. Poems comprising Part II\, ad-Dawha\, were begun while Peter Fortunato lived in Doha\, the capital of Qatar. During the rapid modernization of that desert emirate\, Fortunato taught four years at the newly opened Weill Cornell Medicine. But where exactly is the world’s headquarters—these poems dance across the horizons of the mind\, unlimited in its essence\, particular in its myriad expressions.
