Author Event with Megan Gerig
Paragraphs Bookstore is lit up to host local author Megan Gerig for the March release of her humorous mystery ''Beatrice Ophelia is Flickering Out''! We love working with Megan through her Lamplighter company, which supplies us with wonderfully scented literary-themed candles and room sprays, and couldn't be more excited for her upcoming publication. Megan's author bio: Megan is a lover of tea obsessed with autumn days in her spare room with a book in her lap. When she isn't chasing her hobbit sons around the house, she's dreaming about stories of mystery and magic filled with hope. Megan, her husband, and sons live on a mini-farm in the country where they live out their homesteading dreams.
Small Town, USA
Small Town, USA Presented by the Public Library of Mount Vernon and Knox County, the Knox Memorial, and the Knox County Historical Society Wednesday, April 8 ? 6:30pm-8:30pm VENUE: Knox Memorial Theater (112 E. High St, Mount Vernon, OH 43050) FREE EVENT! During World War II, Mount Vernon, Ohio was designated an ?All-American Town? and featured in a series of U.S. State Department films showcasing the American way of life. Filmed with local residents rather than actors, these works captured everyday life across the community and originally premiered at the Knox Memorial Theatre in 1946. Now newly restored in high-resolution digital format, these films return to the same venue nearly 80 years later. Join the Public Library of Mount Vernon and Knox County, Knox Memorial, and the Knox County Historical Society for a free evening of history, film, and discussion exploring how Mount Vernon was presented to the world. Made possible by a generous grant from the Ohio History Connection.
