Youā€™re invited to join us for a virtual conversation with acclaimed author Kate Quinn about her latest fantastical work, The Astral Library, which poses the question: Have you ever wished you could live inside a book? Welcome to the Astral Library, where books are not just objects, but doors to new worlds, new lives, and new futures.Register now to hear more about The Astral Library & ask the author questions on Thursday, March 12th at 7 PM via digital live-stream at tinyurl.com/ORLAKateQuinnAlexandria ā€œAlixā€ Watson has learned one lesson from her barren childhood in the foster-care system: unlike people, books will never let you down. Working 3 dead-end jobs to make ends meet & knowing college is a pipe dream, Alix takes nightly refuge in the high-vaulted reading room at the Boston Public Library, escaping into her favorite fantasy novels & dreaming of far-off lands. Until the day she stumbles through a hidden door & meets the Librarian: the ageless, acerbic guardian of a hidden library where the desperate & the lost escape to new livesā€¦ inside their favorite books.The Librarian takes a dazzled Alix under her wing. Still, before she can escape into the pages of her new life, a shadowy enemy emerges to threaten everyone the Astral Library has ever helped protect. Aided by a dashing costume-shop owner, Alix & the Librarian flee through the Regency drawing rooms of Jane Austen to the back alleys of Sherlock Holmes & the champagne-soaked parties of The Great Gatsby as danger draws inexorably closer. But who does their enemy really wish to destroyā€”Alix, the Librarian, or the Library itself?Watch LIVE Online From Home OR Join Us at the Oil City Library In-Person for a Watch Party!
