In The loop

Roberta Rubin discusses Turning Pages, her memoir about building Winnetka’s Book Stall into one of the country’s most admired independent bookstores.

Author Talk: Turning Pages
Where: American Writers Museum, 180 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago
When: Tuesday, November 3, 6–7 p.m.
Registration: Reserve through Eventbrite

Writer Richard Reeder interviews Rubin about more than three decades of bookselling, surviving big-box competition and Amazon, and turning author visits and personal service into community infrastructure. Books will be available for purchase, followed by a signing. A pleasant reminder that browsing can be a civic act.
