SUMMARY:Meet the Author - James Zenner
DESCRIPTION:Drop-in and meet author James Zenner. He’ll have books for sale and signing. \nThe books: \nThe Alt-Telomere Timeline \nThe Telomere Paradox: Set in an alternate reality where the fission bomb did not work\, Dr Adrian Hale is contacted by a researcher in the USSR\, claiming to have the secret to immortality. He soon finds that the researcher has other\, less noble goals in mind. \nThe Telomere Lab Theater: Continuing the story of the reality where the fission bomb failed\, Japan has found itself being pulled apart by rival occupiers\, as well as being under siege of self-serving plunderers. Will any hope of a future be sacrificed for short term financial gain? \nCaroline and the Telomere Factory: We met Caroline Nakamura briefly in the Telomere Paradox\, but who is she\, and was her role in the story just background information? it would appear that her involvement was deeper than that as her name is in the title. She definitely can be described as ‘more than meets the eye’.

SUMMARY:Meet the Author - Stephanie Olson
DESCRIPTION:On Small Business Saturday\, come in and meet author Stephanie Olson. She’ll have books for sale and signing. \nThe Book: \nStill Chosen: Another Unwanted Adventure \nYou’re still The Chosen One. If someone needs to face the new evil in the world\, you’re it. \nWhen Phoebe was sixteen\, she died to save the world. Not ideal\, but it was the only way to destroy the power-mad wizard who was ripping a hole in the universe. Besides\, she came back to life\, so it all worked out\, right? Twenty years later\, Phoebe is queen of the realm and while the kingdom is finally at peace\, the routine of life has grown dull – until the divine messenger from her youth reappears with evidence of the dead wizard’s return and demands Phoebe stop him once again. \n Phoebe has no interest in another harrowing adventure since her personal life fell apart after the last one: her old friends haven’t spoken to her in years\, the “love of her life” is long gone\, and she hasn’t performed real magic in nearly a decade. But she knows if the wizard turns out to be alive it will be her fault for failing. Oh\, and he’ll try to tear apart the universe again. Whatever the evil is\, Phoebe needs to get strong enough to stop it from destroying everything she loves\, because she’s the only one who can. \n It turns out\, once you’re The Chosen One\, you’re always The Chosen One – and destiny is forever.

SUMMARY:Storytime with Author Katie Venit
DESCRIPTION:Children’s book author Katie Venit\, will be in the store to read her two books as well as sell and sign them. \nHer Books: \nForts \nA lyrical ode to all the secret spaces in our world. \nThe world is filled with forts.\nTiny worlds within this world\,\nsafe as coat pockets. \nEveryone needs a room of their own. A place to hide and play\, ponder and dream. Whether it’s a tree house in the backyard or a blanket fort inside\, a fort is a magical place filled with imagination and wonder. \nDebut author Katie Venit and celebrated illustrator Kenard Pak have crafted a lyrical celebration of the secret spaces we hold so dear. Forts encourages readers to explore the world around them to find the perfect place where they belong. \nCassini’s Mission: A Spacecraft\, a Tiny Moon\, and the Search for Life Beyond Earth \nCassini was built to explore Saturn and its moons. Her engineers pack her full of tools that can measure\, take pictures\, and taste chemicals. It takes her seven years to reach Saturn’s orbit\, where she investigates Enceladus\, the shiniest moon in the solar system. To the amazement of her scientists back home\, Cassini makes a series of incredible discoveries: liquid water\, chemicals\, and energy—the ingredients for life! But Cassini doesn’t have the right tools or enough fuel to answer the big questions that come next. This bittersweet true story is rich with both science and wonder\, with illustrations that capture the breathtaking scale of our solar system. Back matter provides further insight and information\, as well as additional educational resources. \nReal-life spacecraft Cassini makes surprising discoveries on her visit to one of Saturn’s moons in this graceful blend of science concepts and the awe of space exploration.

SUMMARY:Building Happier Communities (and Making Great Friends Along the Way)
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Richard Kyte\, Director of the D. B. Reinhart institute for Ethics in Leadership and Endowed Professor of Ethics at Viterbo University\, will discuss ways to build happier communities and finding third places to make friends. \nHis Book: \nFinding Your Third Place \nAn exciting new look at the essential gathering spaces in our society where friendships are formed\, relationships are nurtured\, and the tapestry of community is woven. \nDo you have a third place? Your first place is home\, your second place is work\, and your third place is where you go to socialize and build friendships. Yet\, for several reasons\, many people today find themselves without a third place of their own. At a time when our nation is facing an epidemic of loneliness and communities are suffering from a loss of trust\, low levels of engagement\, despair\, and political polarization\, what if the answer to many of our problems lies in a simple idea? What if we just need to pay attention to the places where we find ourselves? \nRichard Kyte\, PhD\, combines storytelling\, social science\, and philosophy to explore: \n\nWhat makes a third place\nFactors that create and support vibrant communities\nThe role of hospitality in creating belonging and social connection\nHow third places foster friendships and bind us to others in our community\nWhat it takes to find and create a third place of your own\n\nIn person or via Zoom

She’ll have books for sale and signing after the reading. \nHer latest: \nMother Hubble’s Cupboard and Other Poems About Inner and Outer Space \n… From macrocosm to microcosm\, even the multiverse\, there are no utopias here. However\, this universe of poems is not without puns\, pie and beer\, together and separately. A bad choice of distraction if you’re hungry\, but worth two utopias in the bush. This collection swings from the gritty to the playful\, sometimes considering physics\, and sometimes using physics to explore humanity\, all the while playing fast and loose with words\, as good poetry should.\n—DAVID KOPASKA-MERKEL\, author of Unwelcome Guests \nIn person or via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Mr. Prairie Enthusiast - Gary Eldred
DESCRIPTION:We’re proud to present Gary Eldred\, Mr. Prairie Enthusiast. He will share stories of his life and healing\, along with excerpts from his new book. There will be books available for sale and signing. \nIn person or via Zoom \nHealing Wounds: Giving Back to Nature \nBy Gary Eldred with Mark K. Leach\nEldred’s memoirs enthrall as he tells how he learned to heal himself and nature with the help of loving\, caring people. \n  \n  \n  \nGary Eldred\n“Mr. Prairie Enthusiast” was an unlikely leader\, with little formal training but with an intense determination to give back to nature. In 1987\, he founded the Southwest Wisconsin Prairie Enthusiasts. At the time\, the idea of local people organizing themselves to purchase\, restore\, and educate about native fire-adapted ecosystems was a novelty. Building on success\, the organization expanded and rebranded as The Prairie Enthusiasts\, which has enabled thousands of activists to work together to heal nature’s wounds. \nMark Leach\nFor decades\, Dr. Leach has volunteered and worked professionally as a conservation researcher\, land manager\, author\, and educator. Now retired\, he continues to volunteer as Senior Scientist for the Chippewa Savannas Chapter of the Prairie Enthusiasts. In 2025\, he started Leaky Canoe Books to publish Healing Wounds. He’s been friends with Gary Eldred since 1988. \n

SUMMARY:Meet the Author – Angela Roloson
DESCRIPTION:Meet author and cancer survivor Angela Roloson. She’ll have books for sale and signing. \nAbout the Book: \nAt age 46\, Author Angela Roloson found herself facing her own mortality. Angela\, a single mom and a high school English teacher\, received the news no one wants to hear: “You have cancer.” This was not the first difficult fight she had faced\, and that merging of two challenging battles is what makes this cancer memoir different from others. \nIn this beautifully written and deeply moving memoir\, Angela shares with vulnerability and with humor\, the account of her battle with breast cancer. She tells her story with unflinching candor through the unique lens of recovery from alcoholism. Angela takes readers into the world of surgeries and chemotherapy\, of trauma and anxiety\, and of hope and resilience. \nCancer Taught Me: A Memoir of Experience\, Strength\, and Hope is an important read for anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer or watched a loved one battle the disease. More than that\, this inspirational memoir is for anyone who has ever faced a challenge that seemed insurmountable for it is through adversity that we experience the most potential for growth.
