Last fall we kicked off the WAMU In Your Bookstore series with a slate of events at Kramerbooks in Dupont Circle. We had such a good time, we’re going back for more.

And Sarah Baline, Kramerbooks Events Director, is on the same page as us, “We are looking forward to even more compelling author and WAMU staff pairings and conversations in 2016!”
