Don't forget that we still have tickets available for our event with Jodi Picoult and her daughter Samantha Van Leer on Monday 7/2. And soon tickets will go on sale for comedian, author, and Daily Show co-creator Lizz Winstead, who will be at the Coolidge on Sunday, 7-10. Stay tuned.
Finally, if there are words to describe how much Maurice Sendak's books meant in the lives of countless people all over the world for the last five and a half decades, then someone else will have to write them, because I don't know what they are.
Brookline Bikes is once again hosting New England's largest Bike Parade, on Sunday, May 20 at Amory Park at Amory St. & Beacon St. For fun! For free!
