Hope you were able to make it to BookFestPA! The local authors made some great presentations and Chris McDougall amused and enlightened his audience at the Presbyterian Church. Visit the BookFestPA Facebook page to see a video.

We recently added two books to our collection by BookFestPA science fiction author John F. Carr: Kalvan Kingmaker and his biography of another local science fiction writer, H. Beam Piper.
