Who doesn’t love angsty teenagers? Join teen author Katie McGarry for a reading and signing of her new young adult drama, ‘Pushing the Limits’. The hormones rage on tomorrow night at 7pm at Carmichael’s Bookstore.

With the release of Marilyn Buck’s posthumously-released poetry collection, ‘Inside/Out’, Carmichael’s Bookstore and a group of local poets will gather this Thursday, June 21st at 7pm to honor the life and writing of the activist and poet.
