Each month Washoe County Library System showcases virtual author talks with bestselling, award-winning, and highly acclaimed authors from around the world. Events in this free, virtual series take place two to three times a month and allow viewers the opportunity to ask questions of the author.
On May 1, we'll be joined by Douglas Brunt, author of Ghosts of Manhattan and The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel. Other upcoming authors include Nina Simon, R.F. Kuang, and Elizabeth Acevedo.
You can see the list of all upcoming events and browse and view recordings of past author talks here. |
