Enough of sizzling sidewalks, enough of wailing sirens, enough of people's feet right in his face. When he plops down in the middle of a crosswalk, his owner endeavors to get him the breath of fresh air he needs. She hails a taxi, hops a train, and ferries out to the beach. Here, a pup can&nbsp;run!This storytime will feature BN Orem's very own hot dog Excalibur!! See you there!

Summer Breeze will be in store signing her book The Unstoppable Shine and we could not be more excited.&nbsp;The Unstoppable ShineWhile she stood there in amazement at this mystifying creature, the waves washed over it. The tide gave it a momentum that pushed it back and forth as if with each and every surge the jellyfish was being called back home. As she looked on in admiration, she was once again reminded of her purpose in life. She knew what she was, and she finally knew what it meant to shine, shine rare like a jellyfish.What to see why we are so excited? Of course, you do! See you there!<img alt="Image preview" src="https://attachments.office.net/owa/CRM2626%40bn.com/service.svc/s/GetAttachmentThumbnail?id=AAMkAGFlNzhjNGRlLTk4NjQtNGVkMy1hY2Y1LTMxNTdmYWM5NDMzNQBGAAAAAADbyl2ZWYLUEYu8AAYpyYRXBwCLP79ZZWnUEYu3AAYpyYRXAAAAAokVAABbkA1nbZJVTK4Z44P8b4fGAARszkECAAABEgAQAPNygHSSEEFNmlZ4pozBqvk%3D&amp;thumbnailType=2&amp;token=eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6IjczRkI5QkJFRjYzNjc4RDRGN0U4NEI0NDBCQUJCMTJBMzM5RDlGOTgiLCJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJ4NXQiOiJjX3VidnZZMmVOVDM2RXRFQzZ1eEtqT2RuNWcifQ.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.nkj8IB9m1iZt5Qlw5uO208rhIkzI2snMZqGQ1ZqBaU9URC4mHC3fI_iwr4H6n7vGrb3XxK2DaLyqJ1DFgTgjTgXSpN0pJ579PB58gkozXcH-EVssx5uQRNZek4Z_oE6IHKjt76hyV3lpk6oy01sVx7AmE_7QYRjXNrN_wxblKhz3Amc-GL_mBUC7SFCvrQB9SlESafq-usNmwj3xcTSqz_dl6eAzj0RYTlUWjnhS_9rJkKO1BLCFmOqAE86HC7STA3BqxWQAAuG6grM9rBhKuu11X3M7AoIIw68oMB9zOuUZxAhdr5mx6LVK9TEtVDmga3L3eiH3tLsxN3A8IEMzmQ&amp;X-OWA-CANARY=58rryBH_skCLZNAxblzks7Beh7dyYdsYqDeezPvYUBwT7vDwsuJNfkHG80MCYNhBCTMAnUbrQOA.&amp;owa=outlook.office.com&amp;scriptVer=20230519010.06&amp;animation=true" />

Join us in store for a signing with local author Eilleen Hallet Stone from 2pm-4pm. She will be signing her book Selling Sex in Utah the untold story of Utah prostitution in the 1800s.In the late 1840s, the new frontier west of the Missouri River opened its floodgates to opportunity and adventure. In a new land, where men were lonely and women scarce, prostitutes poured in to ply their trade wherever they could&mdash;under trees, in wagons or random shanties. Within decades, prostitution expanded into cities and towns. Red light districts, brothels and cribs sprouted like wildflowers. Ogden's notorious madam Belle London enticed Salt Lake Councilmen to hire her to oversee their one hundred fifty room crib stockade. Park City's Mother Urban successfully defended her sixteen row houses as "necessities" for thousands of miners. The ballyhooed brothels of Helper stimulated "hunting trips" for Salt Lake men willing to travel for sex. Award-winning author Eileen Hallet Stone combed newspapers, archives and court cases to examine the lives, equity and infamy of Utah prostitution.Learn a little more about the author:Award-winning author and former Salt Lake Tribune columnist Eileen Hallet Stone&rsquo;s projects include Auerbach&rsquo;s: The Store that Performs What It Promises, Historic Tales of Utah, Hidden History of Utah, A Homeland in the West: Utah Jews Remember and Missing Stories: An Oral History of Ethnic and Minority Groups in Utah, co-authored with Leslie Kelen. Her commentary is featured in the 2015 documentary film Carvalho&rsquo;s Journey.See you there!

It doesn't always make sense, but don't let these rule-breaking silent letters defeat you!This whimsical, funky book from Raj Haldar (aka rapper Lushlife) turns the traditional idea of an alphabet book on its head, poking fun at the most mischievous words in the English language and demonstrating how to pronounce them. Fun and informative for word nerds of all ages!This book is the one for all ages!! Do not miss it!!
