How do frightening materials like arsenic, bones and human skin figure into the history of the book? Join Allie Alvis, Special Collections Reference Librarian of the Smithsonian Libraries, to learn about some spooky book history!
- October 28: Gulf Coast Reads: Gods of Jade and Shadow
Dress up in your favorite Jazz Age or flapper costume and join LSC-CyFair Librarian Regina Vitolo for a lively discussion on this year’s Gulf Coast Reads book, “Gods of Jade and Shadow.” This Sylvia Moreno-Garcia Mexican folklore-inspired novel is about the Mayan god of death and a young woman sent on a harrowing, life-changing journey in this dark, one-of-a-kind fairy tale set in Mexico during the Jazz Age.
