July No Shush Salon featuring Jeffrey Westhoff!

On Thursday, July 30th at 6:30 pm, the Clarendon Hills Library is excited to host the No Shush Salon's first ALL AGES show with Jeffrey Westhoff reading from his recently published book, The Boy Who Knew Too Much!

This book is an action-charged YA adventure that blends the suspense of Alfred Hitchcock with the thrills of James Bond. While on a school trip to Europe, Milwaukee teenager Brian Parker hopes for just a taste of the glamour and excitement of his favorite spy novels. Yet Brian gets way more than a taste when he stumbles across a wounded spy in a Lucerne alley. Brian faces a deadly path, but reading all those spy novels has taught him a few tricks of the trade. They just might save his life.

After Jeffery's , we will have 10 minute slots for anyone who wants to present their latest creative endeavor! EVERYONE is invited! Share your poetry, prose, music, dance — anything creative — in under 10 minutes. Treats to share are welcomed! 

No registration required — just drop in and share your talents!

Spectators welcome & appreciated!
