Surviving The Public

In their brand-new talk, Unshelved cartoonists Bill Barnes and Gene Ambaum teach you how to deal with the worst people on earth: customers. Providing great service has never been so entertaining! Saturday at 11am.

The Unshelved Library Lounge

Now in a brand new dedicated space, the Unshelved Library Lounge features custom library programming the Unshelved way:

• Library Confessions - Tell your darkest secret to Gene for later podcast. Names will be changed to protect the not-so-innocent.
