SUMMARY:Beyond the Page with Percival Everett
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: This is a live\, online event. A recording will be made available for those who register but cannot attend the event live. \nIndustrious\, irreverent\, humble–though he may deny the accusation–Percival Everett\, like his fiction\, defies categorization. His most recent novel\, James\, earned both the Pulitzer Prize for fiction and the National Book Award\, and his 2001 novel Erasure inspired the film American Fiction\, which received the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2024. \nEverett’s other titles include Dr. No\, The Trees (finalist for the Booker Prize and the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction)\, Telephone (finalist for the Pulitzer Prize)\, So Much Blue\, and I Am Not Sidney Poitier. Despite these accomplishments\, he remains devoted to reviewing his own work critically\, and indeed his writing process involves intensive research and revision. Tune in for our conversation with Percival Everett to get a glimpse beyond the page. \nBrandis Friedman will moderate the event. Friedman is a writer and anchor for WTTW’s Chicago Tonight and Chicago Tonight: Black Voices\, and also serves as a champion for libraries. \nThis event is intended for adults. \nThis event is made possible by Illinois Libraries Present (ILP)\, a statewide collaboration among public libraries offering premier events. ILP is funded in part by a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library\, a department of the Office of Secretary of State\, using funds provided by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services\, under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA).  \nILP is committed to inclusion and accessibility. American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation and Closed Captioning are provided for all events by default—no special request needed. \n#### \nRegistration for this event closes at 5:00 p.m. on event day. Late registrations will be processed after the live event\, allowing access to the event recording.

SUMMARY:Still Afraid of the Dark: An Evening with R.L. Stine
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: This is a live\, online event. A recording will be made available for those who register but cannot attend the event live. \nWitty\, creepy\, and compulsively readable\, bestselling author R.L. Stine defined horror for a generation of young readers. The generation that grew up with the Goosebumps franchise may be grown\, but Stine keeps finding ways to keep us afraid of the dark! Join us with The Guinness Book of World Records’ “most prolific author of children’s horror novels\,” R.L. Stine\, to discuss his illustrious and still-expanding body of work. \nBest known for the Goosebumps and Fear Street series (and their respective TV and movie adaptations)\, R.L. Stine has sold over 400 million books worldwide in 35 languages. His recent and upcoming works include The Last Sleepover\, which is the fifth installment in the Goosebumps: House of Shivers series; The Graveyard Club\, a YA graphic novel illustrated by Carola Borelli; multiple Fear Street movies\, including Fear Street: Prom Queen; and Goosebumps: The Vanishing\, the second season of the Goosebumps reboot TV series. \nBecky Spratford\, acclaimed horror maven and editor of Why I Love Horror: Essays on Horror Literature\, will join R.L. Stine in conversation. \nThis event is intended for adults. \nThis event is made possible by Illinois Libraries Present (ILP)\, a statewide collaboration among public libraries offering premier events. ILP is funded in part by a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library\, a department of the Office of Secretary of State\, using funds provided by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services\, under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA).  \nILP is committed to inclusion and accessibility. American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation and Closed Captioning are provided for all events by default—no special request needed. \n#### \nRegistration for this event closes at 5:00 p.m. on event day. Late registrations will be processed after the live event\, allowing access to the event recording.
