You’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?

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 lives… 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 destroy—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!
