Bring your love of books--and book-loving friends--to get an insider’s look at the new books that are creating the biggest buzz in the publishing world.
For this night of books, the NBPL Foundation is pleased to host representatives of two major publishing houses, Penguin/Random House and HarperCollins. These publishers’ reps will share previews of their newest titles and will be available before and after to discuss all things book-related.
This event is ideal for book groups and will include a gourmet offering of refreshments from our delicious neighbor, Baker & Olive, as well as book totes, catalogs and Bound Book samples while the offerings last.
Join us to preview exciting new titles upcoming for spring/summer 2017, and to get an inside peek at the world of publishing. Plan your book group’s reading schedule accordingly, and bring all your members to this exciting event.
