David Daley, former Editor-in-Chief of Salon, joins the library on June 14th to talk about his book, Rat F**ked: Why Your Vote Doesn’t Count. With much political and judicial debate around gerrymandering in today’s news cycle, we are thrilled to have the man who wrote the book uncovering the GOP-organized REDMAP program to reshape districts and legislatures in favor of Republican interests. Copies of Daley’s book are available at the library for checkout. Daley will be talking about his book with local author Seth Harwood, answering your questions, and signing books. Join us for tea and coffee to follow.

Local storyteller Dr. Gail N. Herman returns to share some of her favorite treasures from around the world. She’ll show off instruments she’s collected from other countries, and then you’ll help perform multicultural stories using those instruments to create sound effects! At the end of the program, you can find what inspired you and work with the Library’s Storytelling & Writing Group — led by Gail — to write down a story of your own. Registration required. For ages 4 and up (parent participation suggested for ages 6 and under).

Registration is required — when you sign up, please let us know if you are able to bring any sides, snacks, drinks, or dessert to share (we’ll provide the main course). All ages are welcome!
