📍Loos Room at the Central Library, 814 W Wisconsin Ave

Join us for a panel moderated by Ren Browne and Lizzy Brown, The Shelf-Aware Podcast

Including Authors Ali Novak, Frederick Smith, and Sara Dahmen

Panel Topic: Taking a Book to Screen

Book adaptations are having a moment, one that’s been building in the background for years. And that stands to keep building if the fans have anything to say about it. In this panel, Ren and Lizzy from The Shelf-Aware Podcast will lead a discussion on how our favorite books become our favorite shows, on why certain adaptations become beloved while others end up on the DNF pile, and, of course, on how the success of Heated Rivalry could impact the romance genre going forward.

La Finca Coffee Truck will be on site for all of your coffee needs and the Friends of the Milwaukee Public Library will lead a free tour of the Central Library following our final panel.
