For Adults

We are pleased to host 2024 Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Eig this fall at Penfield Public Library! In his latest biography, King: A Life, Eig has drawn an intimate portrait of the man who has become nearly a legend today. Eig will discuss his research on Martin Luther King Jr. as a brave, flawed individual whose activism drew the eye of the FBI.

Join us for a book signing and light refreshments after the talk! You are welcome to bring your own copy of Eig’s book or purchase a copy from our partner Another Chapter Bookstore that evening. You can also pre-order copies from Another Chapter to pick up at the event.

Thanks to the fantastic crew at Penfield TV, the talk will be available for live streaming beginning at 7 PM on October 8 and will be recorded for later viewing. Watch the live stream here!

If you register but are then unable to attend, please notify us by calling 340-8720 or updating your registration status online so that we can offer open spaces to people on the waitlist. Thank you!

This author event is brought to you by Penfield Public Library and East Rochester Public Library.

Sponsored by Senator Samra Brouk, Friends & Foundation of the Rochester Public Library, and Friends of Penfield Public Library.

We're excited to partner with Another Chapter Bookstore, a local indie bookseller located in Fairport that will be selling Eig's books for us that evening!
