Soman Chainani is back with another magical addition to the world of The School for Good and Evil! A series that has sold more than 3.5 million copies, been translated into 32 languages, and has been adapted into a major motion picture from Netflix. His new book The Fall of the School for Good and Evil brings readers back to the early days - long before Agatha or Sophie ever made their way to the School. Back to the days when two brothers led the school together, hand in hand. Back to the days when all was in harmony...until everything changed in an instant.
Soman will be signing books this Friday, May 5th, 4-6 pm at Main Point Books.

Sports Movie Night with Ray Didinger and Glen Macnow
|
Pro Football Hall of Famer Ray Didinger and Main Line resident Glen Macnow will be hosting a Sports Movies night. Didinger said, “We did a similar program when The Ultimate Book of Sports Movies came out. Glen and I will show clips from some iconic sports movies — Rocky, Hoosiers, The Natural, Caddyshack and others. We’ll talk about how the films were made, how they were cast and we’ll have a question-and-answer session with the audience. It really is a fun night.” |

What makes for a happy and fulfilling life? According to Marc Shulz, the co-director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest scientific study of happiness, the answer is simple: relationships. The stronger our relationships, the more likely we are to live happy, satisfying, and overall healthier lives. Marc Schulz is the associate director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development and the Sue Kardas PhD 1971 Chair in Psychology at Bryn Mawr College.
