SUMMARY:Two Way Street Coffee House - Open Mic
DESCRIPTION:Open Mic Night at the Two Way Street Coffee House!\nSome of the most memorable nights at Two Way Street are Open Mic nights.\nFor more than 55 years\, musicians and music lovers have gathered at Two Way Street Coffee House to share songs\, discover new talent\, and celebrate live acoustic music. \nYou never know who will walk through the door—seasoned performers\, first-time songwriters\, touring artists trying out new material\, or community favorites returning to share a song. Every Open Mic is different\, but each one offers an evening of great music\, surprises\, and community. \nJoin us Friday\, July 3\, 2026\, for our quarterly Open Mic as part of the Two Way Street Coffee House Friday Night Concert Series. \n\nSign-ups begin at 7:30 PM (CT) when doors open. The show starts at 8:00 PM (CT).\nEach performer may present two songs\, approximately 6–10 minutes total.\nBecause these evenings are so popular\, performance slots may be limited.\n\n  \nWhether you’re performing or simply coming to listen\, all are welcome. If you can’t join us in person\, you can still tune in virtually. Visit www.twowaystreet.org for livestream information and additional details. \nWhy We Love Open Mic Nights \nMany artists who have gone on to headline the Two Way Street stage first shared songs in rooms just like this one. Open Mic Night continues that tradition—offering a welcoming place for musicians to connect\, experiment\, and be heard. \nCome be part of the story.

SUMMARY:Anderson's Bookshop - Educator Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our Educator Book Club! Our next in-person meeting will be held on Tuesday\, June 30th at 4:30 pm\, and we will be discussing My Brother Oliver by R.L. Toalson. This will be a free event\, but we highly encourage the purchase of the monthly book from our store.  Please note that the author will not be present at this event. \n\nMore about My Brother Oliver:   \nThree starred reviews!\nA “gut-wrenching and unforgettable” (Publishers Weekly\, starred review) novel in verse by about a boy struggling with guilt as his family reels from the fallout of his older brother’s extreme depression and tries to hold onto hope.\nMy brother’s not here.\nMy brother’s not here.\nMy brother’s not here.\nAnd it’s all\nbecause of\nme. \nBrooks loves and adores his older brother\, Oliver. That’s why it was so hard—practically impossible\, really—for him to have done what he did and told his parents about what Oliver wanted to do. \nNow Oliver has been sent away. He’s miserable\, and Brooks’s family is falling apart. His mom and dad are sad and scared\, and it seems like nothing will ever be okay again. Maybe things would be better if Brooks had just kept his mouth shut. Can he and his family find the hope they need to keep going? \nAbout the Author:\nR.L. Toalson grew up running wild through corn rows and cow-grazing fields and recording true and wildly exaggerated false tales to entertain her friends\, family members\, and anyone who would listen. She still runs (literally) wild through the streets of her city and spends most of her days recording true (if a little exaggerated) and false tales to entertain anyone who will listen. She lives in San Antonio\, Texas\, with her one brilliant husband\, six delightful children\, and two arrogant cats. She’s the author of The Colors of the Rain\, which won the Arnold Adoff Poetry Honor Award for New Voices in 2020; The Woods\, which received a starred review from Booklist; and the highly acclaimed The First Magnificent Summer.

SUMMARY:Anderson's Bookshop Presents Zoulfa Katouh
DESCRIPTION:Join Anderson’s Bookshop for an author event with Zoulfa Katouh\, to celebrate the release of The Ocean Would Paint Me Blue\, on Monday\, June 29th at 6:00 pm in our Downers Grove store. Katouh will be in conversation with author Shifa Saltagi Safadi.\n\nEvent Format \nWe will begin checking you in approximately 30 minutes before the start time. After a presentation and Q&A with the author\, the line will form in numbered order with the following guidelines: \n\nPosed photo with your camera taken by our staff\nThere is a limit of 2 books from home to be signed (unless otherwise stated)\nThere is a limit of 1 personalization (unless otherwise stated)\n\n  \nAll events have open seating. The “Order Line Number” on your pdf ticket is your reserved place in the signing line. You will line up to meet the author based on that number. \nIf you cannot attend\, you must pick up your book (if included with ticket) at the hosting store within 30 days of the event.  We can ship that book to you for an additional charge of $9.99; please call the store to arrange that. \nPre-registration is required for this event because space is limited. \nMore about The Ocean Would Paint Me Blue: \nFrom the celebrated author of As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow comes a poignant novel about a Syrian American girl who uses a magical sketchbook to turn her grief into art\, painting miraculous murals of her mother’s life in Syria. \nSeventeen-year-old Jihad Dabbagh has always seen life with a heightened sense for colors\, one of many magical blessings the women in her family possess. But Jihad’s gift changes depending on her mood. When depression sets in\, the world is a colorless oasis\, and in the wake of her mother’s sudden death\, the world has become a permanent shade of grey. \nBroken by tragedy\, Jihad’s family doesn’t believe her color loss. Her father sends her to the elite Braxton Academy to finish her senior year. There\, Jihad’s name and hijab put a target on her back. Her haven comes in the form of an old sketchbook carved from a tree in her hometown in Syria—a country she only knew through her mother’s stories. Jihad hasn’t picked up a brush in over a year\, but finds herself channeling the colors of her hurt\, pain\, and grief as she paints the story of her mother’s journey in Syria. \nWhen graffiti of that same mural starts magically popping up all over New York\, her art goes viral and the world takes notice\, the threat of legal consequences is imminent. To reclaim her voice\, Jihad will have to paint a new future for herself and Braxton\, guided by the resilience of her mother’s story. \nAbout the Author:\nZoulfa Katouh is the award-winning and bestselling author of the novel As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow and The Ocean Would Paint Me Blue. Her books have been translated into over twenty-five languages and As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow was a Governor General’s Award finalist and a Yoto Carnegie Medal nominee. Zoulfa holds a degree in pharmacy and a master’s in Drug Sciences. She resides in Switzerland where she lives as a Studio Ghibli protagonist who is surrounded by a never-ending stack of books that keeps growing. \n  \nAbout the Conversation Partner:\nShifa Saltagi Safadi is the National Book Award winning author of Kareem Between\, the Amina Banana series\, and several picture books\, including The Gift of Eid. She has a bachelor’s degree in English literature\, is a former ELA teacher\, and is passionate about spreading a love of reading through storytimes and school visits. Shifa was born in Syria and immigrated to the US with her parents as a young girl. She lives near Chicago with her husband and four children. \nFind her on Instagram @shifasaltagisafadi
