Toga/Saturnalia Party for the Book Releases

THIS EVENT IS CANCELED ON ACCOUNT OF SNOW - WE WILL RE-SCHEDULE IT SOON.

This Staurday, 3:00 pm- 5:00 pm

Owings Mills author Stephanie Dray has another book on Cleopatra's daughter, Selene, coming out, plus a romance involved a Sphinx. So we're holding a nearly Saturnalia party! You can wear the toga over your clothes, we don't mind! Egyptian munchies provided.

NOTE - any frat members thinking to bring an Animal House vibe to this party will have to buy one of Stephanie's Harlequin Romances. :)

We will also be hosting the Girl Scout Cookie Sales 1-5pm!

True Crime stories this weekend!

Saturday, 3-5pm, we have Baltimore local Dick Ellwood, who spent 25 years on the Baltimore City Police Force. COP STORIES provides a true crime memoir that proves that fact is stranger than fiction. Coffee and donuts will be provided - come on down for some interesting anecdotes!

TRACKS - author tea this weekend

Saturday 10/15/11 3-5 pm
This Saturday we host Baltimore local, Eric D. Goodman and his story collection set on the rails between Baltimore and Chicago. Join us for coffee/tea and munchies.

Each story is told from the perspective of a passenger on the train. They are the strangers we meet every day: a soldier, a salesman, a former mobster, a Holocaust survivor, couples in love, a woman who has lost her parents, a poet, a hit man. These and other characters fill the train with emotion and complexity.
