Thursday, May 16th | 7pm
It’s that time of year again! We’ll be kicking off our Summer Reading Program with our annual party! Sign up for our program, learn about fun books to read this summer, and take home some cool prizes!
This time The Class Acts Tour will be descending upon us for the evening. We'll be joined by three awesome authors with awesome new books. Jarrett Krosoczka, author of all those great Lunch Lady books, has a new middle-grade mystery series coming out called Platypus Police Squad. The first book: The Frog Who Croaked. Another Decatur favorite, Christopher Healy, has written his second book in the League of Princes series, The Hero's Guide to Storming the Castle. Finally, Soman Chainani's debut novel, The School for Good and Evil, has received great advance reviews.
