SUMMARY:10 Years of Daring Heists and Lovable Outcasts in YA Fantasy with Leigh Bardugo (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Since publishing in 2015\, Leigh Bardugo’s highly popular Six of Crows has taken the world of YA literature by storm–and it’s not hard to see why. The complex fantasy setting\, thoughtfully-structured magic system\, and deliciously morally gray characters all collide in a world you won’t want to leave and you don’t have to! Join us as we pick the brain of the New York Times bestselling author herself\, celebrating the release of her Six of Crows (The Dregs Edition). \nKetterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price—and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can’t pull it off alone. . . . \nA convict with a thirst for revenge. \nA sharpshooter who can’t walk away from a wager. \nA runaway with a privileged past. \nA spy known as the Wraith. \nA Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums. \nA thief with a gift for unlikely escapes. \nSix dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz’s crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction—if they don’t kill each other first. \nIn celebration of its decade-old status\, the duology will be rereleased in special Dregs Edition paperback copies featuring beautiful new cover art by Harol Bustos\, black stained edges\, and updated maps. Whether you’re a new reader or a loyal fan\, register today to take part in the adventure! \nThis is a virtual program.  Please click HERE to register. \nAbout the Author: Leigh Bardugo is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Familiar and Ninth House and the creator of the Grishaverse (now a Netflix original series)\, which spans the Shadow and Bone trilogy\, the Six of Crows duology\, the King of Scars duology—and much more. Her short fiction has appeared in multiple anthologies including The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy. She lives in Los Angeles and is an associate fellow of Pauli Murray College at Yale University. \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Lenox Library Association and Lee Bank\, and brought to you in partnership with Library Speakers Consortium.

SUMMARY:Banned Bookathon
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate Banned Books Week\, October 5 – 11\, 2025. \nThis year’s theme is “Censorship Is So 1984. Read for Your Rights.” \nWith the escalation in attempts to ban books in libraries\, schools\, and bookstores around the country\, George Orwell’s cautionary tale 1984 serves a prescient warning about the dangers of censorship. This year’s theme reminds us that the right to read belongs to all of us\, that censorship has no place in contemporary society\, and that we must defend our rights. \nOn Wednesday\, October 8\, Lenox Library invites you to read for your rights during our all-day Banned Bookathon. Sign up for a 15-minute timeslot(s) to read from your favorite banned book. \nNeed inspiration? Check out this list of the top 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books: 2010-2019 or one of our banned books displays. \nWe hope you’ll join us in standing up for – and celebrating – our right to read!

SUMMARY:Nuestra América: Stories of 30 Inspiring Latinas/Latinos Who Have Shaped the United States with Smithsonian Educators (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Join us in conversation with Smithsonian professionals Adrián Aldaba and Emily Key as they discuss Nuestra América and highlight inspiring stories of Latinos throughout history\, as well as their incredible contributions to the cultural\, social\, and political character of the United States. \nThe stories in Nuestra América cover each figure’s cultural background and childhood\, and their accomplishments or contributions to American history. A glossary of terms and discussion question-filled reading guide\, created by the National Museum of the American Latino\, encourages further research and exploration. The museum has featured twenty-three of these stories in its exhibition ¡Presente! A Latino History of the United States\, the first exhibition to feature U.S. Latino history at the national level. \nFeaturing beautifully illustrated portraits by Gloria Félix\, this is a book that children (and adults) will page through and learn from again and again. A must have for every school and home library to help students understand the American story! \nThis is a virtual program.  Please click HERE to register. \nAbout the Presenters: \nAdrián Aldaba\, a Chicago native\, is the national programs manager for the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Latino. In this capacity\, he serves audiences of all ages by bringing the Latino Museum’s programs and content to communities where they live and thrive outside of the Washington\, D.C. area. He does this through the museum’s national leadership\, family\, and public programs for adults and intergenerational audiences. He also supports national K-12 efforts facilitating teacher workshops connecting the museum’s literacy initiatives and resources to educators across the nation. Aldaba co-authored Strategies for Engaging and Representing Latinos in Museums\, a free resource released by the American Alliance of Museums Latino Network. Aldaba joined the Smithsonian more than a decade ago after working as a research assistant for the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University. He earned his A.B. cum laude in Romance Languages and Literatures from Harvard College. \nEmily Key is the assistant director of Learning and Public Engagement at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Latino where she developed the museum’s learning continuum and education vision centered on creating opportunities for visitors to experience\, learn\, reflect\, and transform by sparking curiosity and encouraging life-long learning. Key oversees national bilingual programming\, community engagement\, K-12 aligned educator resources\, publications\, and the Young Ambassadors Program\, a nationally recognized youth leadership program.Key is also responsible for the creation of the General Motors Learning Lounge and its correlative educational programming for the museum’s Molina Family Latino Gallery that opened in June 2022. Prior to the museum\, she led education efforts for the Smithsonian Latino Center and worked in the education department of the National Air and Space Museum. Key holds a graduate certificate in arts and culture strategy from the University of Pennsylvania and a BA from the George Washington University. \n**Note: While the book will be discussed\, please be aware the presenter may explore other topics in the related fields suiting their additional expertise.

Cobell (Blackfeet) weaves loss\, betrayal\, and complex characters into a thriller that will illuminate\, surprise\, and engage readers until the final word. A must-pick for readers who enjoy books by Angeline Boulley and Karen McManus! \nWhen local girl Loren includes Mara in a traditional Blackfeet Giveaway to honor Loren’s missing sister\, Mara thinks she’ll finally make some friends on the Blackfeet reservation. Instead\, a girl from the Giveaway\, Samantha White Tail\, is found murdered. Because the four members of the Giveaway group were the last to see Samantha alive\, each becomes a person of interest in the investigation. And all of them–Mara\, Loren\, Brody\, and Eli–have a complicated history with Samantha. Despite deep mistrust\, the four must now take matters into their own hands and clear their names. Even though one of them may be the murderer.

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. Learn more at www.gabehenry.com. \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Lenox Library Association and Lee Bank\, and brought to you in partnership with Library Speakers Consortium.

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.
