Salina Public Library announces November lineup of virtual author talks

Salina Public Library will offer four free virtual author talks in November on topics ranging from ancestral connections to space exploration, according to the library's online events calendar. The programs are presented in partnership with the Library Speakers Consortium.

The series begins from 1 to 2 p.m. Central time Nov. 3 with “Reclaiming Your Inner Wisdom: Sacred Indigenous Teachings” featuring author and spiritual mentor Asha Frost, who identifies as Ojibway/Anishinaabe and is a member of the Chippewas of Nawash First Nation. Frost will discuss her book “You Are the Medicine.”

Kelly and Zach Weinersmith, authors of “A City on Mars,” will discuss the science and challenges of space settlement from 1 to 2 p.m. Central time Nov. 10. Paul Vigna will discuss the history of money, wealth and greed through his book “The Almightier: How Money Became God, Greed Became Virtue, and Debt Became Sin” from 1 to 2 p.m. Central time Nov. 11.

The November schedule concludes with author Rebecca Roanhorse discussing her “Between Earth and Sky” trilogy — “Black Sun,” “Fevered Star,” and “Mirrored Heavens” — from 6 to 7 p.m. Central Time, Nov. 19.

The talks are free and held online through the Library Speakers Consortium. Closed captions are available for live programs and replays, and recordings are posted 24 hours after each event.

Registration is available through the library's virtual author talks portal. An email address is required to receive the viewing link, and the consortium's registration help page does not list a library card as a requirement. Residents also may call the library at 785-825-4624 for information.
