You’re invited to join us at the annual Friends of the Libraries luncheon as Professor Flanagan shares how creativity provides the tools to process the world through inquiry, risk-taking, and problem solving, and why that is so important for a well functioning society.

Dr. Flanagan’s latest novel Blackout (Thomas & Mercer) was an Amazon First Reads selection for June 2022. She is the author of Deer Season (University of Nebraska Press), winner of the 2022 Edgar for Best First Novel by an American Author and a Finalist for the Macavity Award for Best First Mystery. She is a regular reviewer for Publishers Weekly. For more information about her and her writing, please visit www.erinflanagan.net or say hello on Twitter at @erinlflanagan. Books will be available for purchase and signing at this event (cash, checks, PayPal or Venmo only).

A lunch buffet will be provided, which includes Italian salad with Ranch and Italian dressing, Italian chicken, vegetarian stuffed peppers, garlic mashed potatoes, seasonal veggie medley, cheesecake with fresh berries, chocolate cake, and iced tea, regular and decaf coffee.
