Congrats to the winner of our Time Capsule Coloring Contest!

As part of our building renovation, we created a time capsule to be opened in 2062 for our 100th anniversary.

Here's Alessia's message for the future:
"I hope lots of kids and adults still love this library for a long time."

Babel-On with R.F. Kuang

R.F. Kuang’s genre-bending fiction broaches ordinarily serious topics from a satirical and fantastical perspective. Academic yet approachable, Kuang’s work combines history, magic, and classical literary tradition to render powerful critiques of academia, the publishing industry, and even contemporary popular culture. Kelly Jensen, an anti-censorship advocate, a senior editor at Book Riot, and writer will be joining Kuang in conversation.
