SUMMARY:Books & Bars: "Exit Party" by Emily St. John Mandel
DESCRIPTION:Exit Party by Emily St. John Mandel \nTuesday\, November 17\n6:30 p.m. \nUrban Growler\n2325 Endicott St\, Saint Paul \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \n— \nLos Angeles\, 2031: The first spring after the collapse of the United States\, peacekeeping troops withdraw from the city\, the Jacaranda trees blossom\, and the curfew is finally lifted. Ari Waker and her roommate pass the gauntlet of bomb-sniffing dogs\, the shanty towns\, and the Red Cross tents as they walk across Silverlake to a party. The mood is ecstatic inside the apartment\, people drink and dance\, a woman wears a silver dress\, pleated like tinfoil. And then: A shift. A bewildered twin\, an uncanny doppelganger stumbles through the crowd and out into the night\, and Kareem\, the party’s host\, vanishes into thin air. \n— \nWith The Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library\, moderator Jeff Kamin brings his unique take on a public book club show to Saint Paul. Even if you don’t like the featured book\, he “guarantees a good time at our entertaining discussions.” All are welcome to try this moderated reinvention of the book club.

SUMMARY:Moving Words: Writers Across Minnesota
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 19 | 6:30 p.m.\nfollowing Friends of the Library annual meeting\nSt. Peter Community Center\, Room 219 \n601 S. Washington Avenue\, St. Peter\, MN 56082  \nEnjoy a lively discussion with three Minnesota authors: Art Coulson\, Naomi Kritzer\, and Sun Yung Shin. Moving Words is an opportunity for writers and readers to explore various themes together: the impact of literature in their lives\, their connection as fellow Minnesotans\, and the lens through which we read. \nMoving Words is a program of The Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library as the Library of Congress-designated Minnesota Center for the Book. This program is made possible in part by the State of Minnesota through an appropriation to the Minnesota Department of Education\, The Harlan Boss Foundation for the Arts\, and the generous support of Bernadette and Jeffrey Janisch.
