Quiet Please: Dispatches from a Public Librarian  

By Scott Douglas, published by Da Capo Press (March 24, 2008).

Meet us at Noon on Thursday, October 30, 2008, 401 N. Michigan Ave., 28th Floor.

Join us for a brown bag lunch, sparkling conversation, and a spectacular view of the Wrigley Building and Michigan Avenue. Use the middle bank of elevators to go to the 28th floor, and the receptionist will direct you. Bring your lunch – we’ll provide soda, water and coffee.

RSVP to Margaret Quinlan at quinlanm@hotmail.com, 312-372-4040.
