SUMMARY:On Writing Darkly Charming Villainous Love with Hannah Nicole Maehrer (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Embrace your dark side (and your best evil laugh) and join us in conversation with Hannah Nicole Maehrer\, creator of the New York Times bestselling Assistant to the Villain series. \nEvie Sage didn’t mean to become the right-hand woman to the kingdom’s most terrifying villain. One minute\, she was applying for an entry-level position that promised “light paperwork and occasional beheadings\,” and the next\, she was knee-deep in magical mayhem\, murder plots\, and an entirely inappropriate crush on her brooding\, sharp-jawed\, walking disaster of a boss. \nNow\, with a magical prophecy unraveling\, assassins showing up in the break room\, and a suspicious amount of frogs wearing crowns\, Evie has to figure out how to survive her job without setting the kingdom on fire―or her dignity\, which is hanging by a very sarcastic thread. \nBeing evil-adjacent was never part of the five-year plan. But then again…neither was falling for The Villain. \nFull of humor and heart\, this magical office comedy about a sunshine assistant and her grumpy evil boss is one you won’t want to miss out on. With the third book in the series\, Accomplice to the Villain\, out August 5\, 2025\, you need to register today to learn what tricks are up this author’s sleeve! \nThis is a virtual program.  Please click HERE to register. \nAbout the Author: Hannah Nicole Maehrer—or as TikTok Knows her\, @hannahnicolemae—is a fantasy romance author and BookToker with a propensity for villains. When she’s not creating bookish comedy skits about Villains and Assistants\, she’s writing to Taylor Swift songs. Her biggest passions in life include romance\, magic\, laughter\, and finding ways to include them all in everything she creates. Most days you can find her with her head in the clouds and a pen in her hand. \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Lenox Library Association and Lee Bank\, and brought to you in partnership with Library Speakers Consortium.

SUMMARY:Our Failed Attempts to Make English Eezier to Spell with Author Gabe Henry (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered why the English spelling of words is sometimes… well… just weird? Come on a surprisingly hilarious journey with us and author Gabe Henry through the history of the English language\, while we discuss troublemakers like Mark Twain who broke all the rules. \nAnyone who has the misfortune to write in English will\, every now and then\, struggle with its spelling. In our erratic system\, choir and liar rhyme\, daughter and laughter don’t\, and somehow you and ewe can’t agree on a single letter. So why do we still use it? If our spelling is so inconsistent\, why haven’t we tried to fix it? \nIn the comic annals of linguistic history\, legions of rebel wordsmiths have died on the hill of spelling reform\, risking their reputations to simplify English spelling. This book is about them: Mark Twain\, Eliza Burnz\, Noah Webster\, Upton Sinclair\, Emma Dearborn\, Theodore Roosevelt\, Benjamin Franklin\, and the countless other “simplified spellers” who\, for a time in their lives\, became fanatic about writing kof instead of cough\, tung for tongue\, and fyzics for physics (and tried futilely to get everyone around them to do it too). \nIn Enough is Enuf\, Gabe Henry humorously traces the “simplified spelling movement” from medieval England to Revolutionary America\, from the birth of standup comedy to contemporary pop music\, and explores its lasting influence in words like color (without a U)\, plow (without -ugh)\, and the iconic ’90s ballad “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Finally\, Henry brings us to the digital age\, where the swift pace of online exchanges now pushes us all 2ward simplification. \nRegister now for this informative and entertaining conversation to find out why Gabe Henry thinks UR not a bad speller\, the English language is. \nThis is a virtual program.  Please click HERE to register. \nAbout the Author: Gabe Henry is the author of three books including the poetry anthology Eating Salad Drunk\, a humor collaboration with Jerry Seinfeld\, Bob Odenkirk\, Mike Birbiglia\, Margaret Cho\, and other titans of comedy. Eating Salad Drunk was featured in The New Yorker in February 2022 (“A Smattering of Haiku for the Burnout Age”) and ranked one of Vulture’s Best Comedy Books of 2022. Henry’s work has been published in TIME\, New York Magazine\, The New Yorker\, the Weekly Humorist\, US News & World Report\, and more. He has spent more than a decade exploring the strange and forgotten history of simplified spelling\, which\, by his own admission\, has only made him a worse speller. He lives and works in New York.
