St. Louis, MO . . . The St. Louis Public Library is proud to continue its ongoing series of thought-provoking book discussions and signings with more memorable author visits in November. All events are FREE and open to the public. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.

On November 5 at 7 p.m., Central Library, 1301 Olive Street, will host Wayne and Shirley Weigand as they discuss, Books on Trial: Red Scare in the Heartland, the sobering story of innocent people caught up in the hysteria of the times.

At the Buder Branch, 4401 Hampton Avenue, on November 8 at 7 p.m., Belleville-area author Stephen McAllister discusses and signs his novella, Highland Equinox, the tale of a widowed bed-and-breakfast owner in Scotland who moves past her grief with the unwitting help of an American guest.
