An Evening with Larry Yoder
Book club season is upon us! Are you ready with the best choices for your club's selections? Don't worry, longtime Bookie Larry Yoder has you covered.
It's time again for one of our most popular annual events. As book clubs prepare to make their choices, often the breadth of books vying for attention is overwhelming. That's where The Bookies' very own Larry comes in. On August 30th, at 6:30 p.m., Larry will be hosting a special ticketed event to tell you what books he thinks are the best bets for your club. He'll be offering his recommendations, taking questions, and leading you through our shelves to make certain you choose the perfect book for your club. You can get all of this, as well as refreshments and a $5.00 gift certificate, all for the tiny cost of $5.00.
You can buy your tickets in store or online by clicking

A truly remarkable story of the first Olympic athlete to compete in a hijab. This version of her story is presented in a more approachable volume for younger readers (the adult version being Proud: My Fight for an Unlikely American Dream) that will inspire and teach about one of Time Magazine's '100 Most Influential People'.

Doreen Rappaport & John Pomeroy
Part of the BIG WORDS series, this is an in-depth look at Disney's life presented with beautiful artwork. Fans of Disney will be interested in the very detailed biography. Not a lap-reader or picture book to be read alone by a child, but a great shared experience.

Jeanette Winter
Another true story on our list is a paperback version of the award-winning story of Kenya's Nobel Prize Winner Wangari Maathai. First released more than a decade ago, the story is still moving and relevant today. How can one person change the world? With a single seed.

Two and a half decades later, and Stellaluna is still filling our hearts with wonder. This new edition features the same story we all love, of being lost and being found, being different but accepted, but now with new color, more expansive art, and even the ability to download related materials. As much fun to read now as it was twenty-five years ago.
