BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!

We’re Little Shop of Stories and you’re watching Sour Ones. It’s the show with tangy questions and even more sour candy! We’re taking inspo from one of our favorite web-shows and getting into it with YA authors Becky Albertalli, Adib Khorram, and Kelly Quindlen, asking them increasingly juicy questions as they eat increasingly sour candy! Join us on Sunday, May 3rd at 2:15pm at the Decatur Library. Even better: join us for the whole weekend of bookish fun!
