Complacency: One Man’s Story – Edward Minyard 3/12 @ 7pm

in /by

Please join us on Tuesday, March 12th at 7pm when special guest and local author Edward Minyard will be in the library to discuss his book Complacency: One Man’s Story.  As George Epstein recently wrote in the Conway Daily Sun, “Eddie’s book is meant to be read on two levels.  It’s a Tom Clancy style thriller with a superhero protagonist, and it is a wake-up call to all of us that societal collapse could be right around the corner and we cannot afford to be “complacent” about the risks we face.”  Copies of the book are available in the library.
