There is no fee to attend but we encourage you to purchase from Malaprop’s to help us continue connecting writers and readers and support our local economy.

Calling readers and daydreamers, word mavens and lovers of adventure! This celebration of the power of books is a rallying cry for letting imaginations soar.
We learn important stuff from books.
We learn to speak and think.
We learn why icebergs stay afloat . . .
and why Titanics sink.
Have you ever wanted to climb to the top of Everest with one hand behind your back? Kiss a crocodile all by yourself on the Nile River? How about learning how to bottle moonlight, or track a distant star? There are endless things to discover and whole universes to explore simply by reading a book. But books are only smears of ink without the reader’s mind to give their letters meaning and bring them to life. With a rollicking, rhyming text and delightful artwork, poet and storyteller Allan Wolf and illustrator Brianne Farley remind us that books, no matter how they may be consumed, give readers of every background an opportunity to expand their world and spark their imagination. With infectious enthusiasm, No Buddy Like a Book offers an ode to the wonders of language–written, spoken, and everything in between.
Allan Wolf is the author of many award-winning books for children and teens, including The Day the Universe Exploded My Head and The Blood-Hungry Spleen and Other Poems About Our Parts. Before the publication of No Buddy Like a Book, Allan Wolf frequently recited the text of the poem for educators and students, to avid response. He lives in Asheville, North Carolina.
Brianne Farley is the author-illustrator of Secret Tree Fort and Ike’s Incredible Ink. Her work has appeared in McSweeney’s, the New York Times, and elsewhere. Brianne Farley lives and works in Traverse City, Michigan.

A virtual listening party of the historic “Abominatron” tape, originally sent to Herb Deutsch from Bob Moog in 1964.
The Bob Moog Foundation is excited to announce a virtual listening party of the historic “Abominatron” tape, originally sent to Herb Deutsch from Bob Moog in 1964, in which Moog thoroughly explains every parameter of the Moog synthesizer prototype in this magnificent audio letter. The listening party, which takes place on Sunday, February 14, 2021 at 2pm (ET), will be guided by Seva David Ball, the audio engineer who restored and transferred the tape to digital for the Bob Moog Foundation Archives. Tickets are available through Eventbrite on a “pay what you can” basis. We encourage you to be as generous as you are able, as the funding from the tour will help us sustain the Moogseum. We are offering a range of ticket prices, from $5-$100.
The funding generated from the tour will help support the Moogseum, which was closed for five months due to the pandemic.

The Labyrinth of Love walk in Carrier Park on Sunday, Feb. 14 at 3 p.m. will focus on receiving the loving gifts of the labyrinth, then sending them into the world (our fellow walkers and friends and neighbors, our communities, and everyone we do not yet know around the globe). It is a processional labyrinth with separate entrance and exit to ensure safe distancing (masks required) while still creating the camaraderie of a community walk. Bring a heart (paper, stone, something you created) or a gift of the heart for those in need (canned goods, a book, a donation) that Jubilee can distribute; these will be left at the altar in the center. The labyrinth walk is limited to the first 50 people who RSVP.
