Boozy Book Fair

Relive the excitement of a book fair with WonderLab and Morgenstern’s Books! Peruse titles specially selected for adults in our WonderLab community. Bask in the nostalgia of picking out a new read with friends and other bibliophiles. Enjoy adult beverages from Upland Brewing Company. Light snacks will be provided.

Activities:

  • Meet the author Mary Murphy, a Bloomington local who will discuss and do a live reading of her new work, “Cultures of Growth: How the New Science of Mindset Can Transform Individuals, Teams, and Organizations”.
