For fans of the Julia Quinn Bridgerton novel series, Dayton Metro Library is the place to be. A Night in Conversation with Julia Quinn will be held on Tuesday, October 1, from 6-7 pm in the Main Library’s Eichelberger Forum, or from the comfort of a location patrons may choose.
During her virtual visit to DML, Quinn will discuss the significance of public libraries, the right to read, banned books, and the concept of a book sanctuary, which DML is proud to be.
Quinn is the 2024 National Ambassador for EveryLibrary, whose mission is to “help public, school, and college libraries win funding at the ballot box, ensuring stable funding and access to libraries for generations to come.” They “support grassroots groups across the country who defend and support their local library against book banning, illicit political interference, and threats of closure.”
Quinn will visit DML virtually, so patrons can either register to participate in a “watch party,” at the Main Library, with the possibility to engage in a brief Q&A session, or they can register to participate in a “view only” experience from home or another location outside of the Library.
Quinn is the author of the many titles within her Bridgerton novel series, which has become a wildly popular TV show on Netflix.
Registration is required for adults to participate in either the “watch party” or the “view only” options. For more information and to register, visit DaytonMetroLibrary.org or call the Library’s Ask Me Line at 937.463.2665.
