August is the time kids go back to school, so we'll celebrate this Bite Club with the "Nostalgic Childhood Food Edition"! We'll have cookbooks focused on school lunches, after-school snacks, and nostalgic childhood dishes to bring back the memories of a simpler time. Members can choose a recipe from one of the cookbooks provided or use their own cookbook/recipe to contribute a dish.

Join us in the Farish Theater as Lexington Public Library welcomes Kentucky authors Wes Browne, Weatherford Award winning author of They All Fall the Same, and Chris McGinley, author of the newly released horror novel Hail Holy Queens.

In the beloved tradition of  Howl's Moving Castle  and  The House in the Cerulean Sea , a whimsical and unforgettable cozy fantasy about adventure, common sense, and the power of love, as a cheeky butcher's daughter, a befuddlingly handsome sorcerer, and his clever talking cat unlock magical secrets in the dark heart of their kingdom..

A bold and inventive retelling of Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the perspective of Jim, the enslaved man at the heart of the original story. Blending sharp wit, suspense, and powerful social commentary, Everett reimagines a familiar literary journey while giving voice, agency, and depth to a character long denied center stage.

Bury Our Bones is, “a genre-defying, unforgettable novel about immortality and hunger to sink your teeth into.”
