joined in conversation by joshua rubenstein. virtual events like tonight we continue to bring authors and their works to the new digital community during these challenging times. spring season is in full swing so make sure you check out the event schedule where you can also sign up for a newsletter and browse the shelves from home. the discussion will conclude with questions. if you have a question at any time during the talk tonight go to the q and a button on the screen and we will get through as many as time allows and if you would like to purchase a copy there will be a link in the chat where you can purchase. thank you especially during this difficult time for spaces like the local bookstore. there will also be a link in the donation if you would like to get additional support to the bookstore and purchases and financial contributions to make this series possible and now more than ever to support the future of the landmark independent bookstore. thank you so much for tuning in and support of the authors and incredible staff
