Join us for the next gathering of Books & Brews, our laid-back neighborhood book club where good conversation meets a good drink.

This month we’ll be discussing Kent State — the powerful and deeply researched graphic novel that revisits the tragic events of May 4, 1970, when the Ohio National Guard opened fire on students protesting the Vietnam War at Kent State University. Backderf, an Ohio native and award-winning cartoonist, brings the story to life with remarkable care, capturing the tension, confusion, and humanity of the moment from multiple perspectives.

Books & Brews is always a welcoming, low-pressure conversation—no lectures, no homework vibes, just thoughtful discussion around the table with a room full of curious people.

And if books aren’t your thing, that’s alright too. The bar will be open and doing its usual Thursday night thing, so you can still swing by for a cocktail and the company.

Come grab a drink, pull up a chair, and join the conversation.
