Times Best Selling Author Jennifer
Keishin Armstrong as we delve into the TV show that remains
embedded in the American psyche: the one, the only, Seinfeld!
Armstrong shares with us the hilarious behind-the-scenes story
of the guys who went out for coffee and dreamed up the cultural
sensation that changed television and bled into the real world. All the nostalgia and
laughter will have you saying “GET OUT!”. There’s no need to steal a loaf of rye, or
double dip a chip—we’ll have plenty of noshes with a cash bar.

Lerman
New York Times bestselling author of Seinfeldia
joins us for another round of laughs at Washington
Centerville Public Library, followed by a Q&A
session and book signing. Please register in advance
at www.wclibrary.info.
Dawn’s childhood was defined by a struggle for
attention that was only fulfilled by a nurturing
relationship with her maternal grandmother that
took place in the kitchen. Join us for dinner featuring
some recipes from her book as Lerman reflects on
her colorful family and culinary-centric upbringing,
and how food shaped her connection to her
family, her Jewish heritage, and herself. Humorous
and compassionate, this memoir is an ode to the
incomparable satisfaction that comes with feeding
the ones you love.

THE BEST PLACE ON
EARTH with author Ayelet
Tsabari
THURSDAY,
December 8
@ 7PM
@ Wright Memorial
Public Library
@ the Dayton Woman’s
Club
New York Times bestselling author B.A. Shapiro is
a master at telling a gripping story while exploring
provocative themes. Alizee Benoit is a budding
American painter working for the Works Progress
Administration (WPA) in New York City in 1940,
while her family remains in Nazi occupied France.
Seventy years later, her niece uncovers enigmatic
paintings hidden behind recently found works
that she believes may be the work of her great
aunt. Shapiro weaves her story among historical
characters such as Eleanor Roosevelt and famous
Abstractionist artists including Rothko, Pollock and
Krasner.
Absorbing, tender, and sharply observed, The Best
Place on Earth infuses moments of sorrow with
small moments of grace. Through these eleven
spellbinding stories, Tsabari focuses on Israel’s
Mizrahi Jews, all searching for their place in the
world. Her voice is tender, yet wise. Illuminating
the burdens of history, the strength of the heart,
and our universal desire to belong. Join Ayelet for
light noshes and a cash bar in an intimate setting
as she discusses her short stories and the characters
within them.
