May 16th | Visiting Author: Megan O'Grady | 2-3PM
We are pleased to announce we have another visiting author in the month of May: Megan O'Grady!
Megan will read from her debut, How It Feels to Be Alive: Encounters with Art and Our Selves. Barbara Kruger once defined art as “the ability to show and tell, through a kind of eloquent shorthand, how it feels to be alive.” Testing that claim, How It Feels to Be Alive braids criticism with personal narrative to consider art’s intimate effects and how it might help us find clarity in an uncertain world.
Come and give Megan a warm welcome to the library by visiting on Saturday, May 16th from 2-3PM. We will also be running arts and crafts for the kids, so don't be afraid to swing by with the little ones.
Hoping to see you there!
