Upcoming Discussions

For the Thrill of Lit (FTTOL) is Loganberry's new book club for lovers of suspense, mystery, thriller, and horror! It meets bi-monthly on the third Thursday of the month in rotation with Queer Book Club. FTTOL will meet both in-store and via Zoom.
Our first book club pick is The Hunger by Alma Katsu. This book is a fascinating mix of historical fiction, suspense, and horror! It follows the journey of a real group of pioneers from the 1800s who were migrating from the Midwest to California. They experienced significant hardship along their journey, which caused people to turn against one another in their quest for survival.
Book Event - THE Story of Ukraine
Thursday, April 27, 7:00PM
Please join us as the authors Michael Sampson and Olena Kharchenko come to Loganberry Book for a talk an discussion of their timely and informative book, The Story of Ukraine: An Anthem of Glory and Freedom. This picture book is beautiful and perfect for both children and adults.
New York Times bestselling author Michael Sampson was serving as a Fulbright Scholar to Ukraine when asked to evacuate and continue his work from Warsaw, Poland. As he was attending a peace rally, he heard a group of people singing the Ukrainian national anthem and was filled with hope for a better future. Inspired, Sampson teamed up with Ukrainian national Olena Kharchenko, and Ukrainian refugee, Polina Doroshenko, the illustrator, to lend a distinct authenticity to his idea for a new picture book. The goal was simple: to help children around the world, including refugees and displaced children, feel connected.
Loganberry Books is proud to present this program. Bring your children, your family, your friends!
