BOOKS
Vroman’s welcomes funny lady Molly Shannon this afternoon at 4 pm. The SNL veteran will present and sign her new children’s book Tilly the Trickster. “Tilly is a mischievous girl who loves nothing more than causing a little trouble. From leaking cups to toothpaste-flavored cookies, Tilly has a trick for everyone: her mom, dad, brother, classmates, and even her teacher. But when the tables are turned and her family does some scheming of its own, will Tilly decide to change her trickster ways?”
NIGHT HIKE*
Tonight at 6 pm, there’s an Autumn by Moonlight night hike in Franklin Canyon. Explore the fall night by the light of a nearly full moon. Moderate two-hour hike with great views. Meet at the Sooky Goldman Nature Center. Sorry, but no dogs allowed on the hike.
