In partnership with Meow Wolf, the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District will host Julia Whelan, award-winning audiobook narrator and author of My Oxford Year and Thank You For Listening, for a Q&A and book signing during the event. … The second Marquee Event is scheduled for August 15, 2024, at Truist Field in partnership with the Charlotte Knights and Charlotte Mecklenburg Library and Charlotte Mecklenburg School District. On August 16, 2024, comedian, actor, and New York Times best-selling author Paul Scheer will be at a Charlotte Mecklenburg Public Library branch promoting his new book Joyful Recollections of Trauma.
