Events

Skylark Bookshop had so much fun on their inaugural Local Author Night that they can’t wait to do it all again on Thursday, Feb. 21! As before, there will be  a mixture of readings and interactive Q and A.

If you would like to participate please drop them a line to mail@skylarkbookshop.com. If the shop doesn’t already stock your book, please tell them a little bit about the title that you will be reading from.

Skylark will announce the participants as soon as they have filled all the spots – but in the meantime, mark your calendars for another great evening to enjoy some  local writing talents!

Be in the audience for “Almost, Maine,” a Columbia Entertainment Company production. As the Northern Lights hover in the star-filled sky above the remote town of Almost, Maine, residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways. “ ‘Almost, Maine’ is a series of nine amiably absurdist vignettes about love, with a touch of good-natured magic realism … witty, romantic, unsentimental. A beautifully structured play, with nifty surprise endings (most but not all of them happy).” — The New York Times.

“The Every 28 Hours Plays,” directed by Dr. Claire Syler.

“The Every 28 Hours Plays ” is a national performance project that takes its name from the shared and contested statistic that every twenty-eight hours a Black person is killed in the U.S. by police or vigilante. Originally developed in St. Louis with  the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, The One-Minute Play Festival, and in association with theatre makers from across the country, it features multiple short plays and a post-production talkback. Come join the conversation.

The second chapter of the Skylark Unbound Book Club will feature BROWN GIRL DREAMING, by Children’s laureate and 2019 Unbound keynote Jacqueline Woodson. This YA title won the National Book Award in 2014.

Brown Girl Dreaming was also a recipient of the Coretta Scott King Award, a Newbery Honor Award, the NAACP Image Award and the Sibert Honor Award. Woodson was recently named the Young People’s Poet Laureate by the Poetry Foundation. She is the author of more than two dozen award-winning books for young adults, middle graders and children; among her many accolades, she is a four-time Newbery Honor winner, a three-time National Book Award finalist, and a two-time Coretta Scott King Award winner.
This discussion will be led by Skylark bookseller Beth Shapiro, who, as a former high school librarian, knows a thing or two about YA books.
