This month, the Cover 2 Cover Book Club will be reading author R.F. Kuang. 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. Several of her books are available to check-out, and you are encouraged to read one (or several) and come to the library on Wednesday, May 20 at 6:30 PM for discussion. A live Zoom interview with the author herself will begin at 7:00 PM.

Want to watch the Zoom interview at home? Register on the library's website: https://www.fourstarlibrary.org/2026-05-20-bable-on-with-r-f-kuang-7-pm
