Wellesley Booksmith: Bill Konigsberg (October 7 at 7:00pm)
What if the star of the high school football team was secretly gay? That's the central question of Bill Konigsberg’s new young adult novel Out of the Pocket, which School Library Journal calls “a thought-provoking, funny, and ultimately uplifting story of self- actualization that masterfully defies ... (more)stereotypes about both coming out and team sports.” A writer and editor for The Associated Press, Bill was an assistant editor at ESPN.com in May of 2001 when he came out on the website’s front page in an article entitled “Sports World Still a Struggle for Gays.” That article won him a GLAAD Media Award and has since earned him the opportunity to speak at venues across the country about what it is like to be one of the few openly gay people in sports media. We’re thrilled to be hosting Bill at our store for an evening of witty and engaging conversation that, like Bill’s novel, will appeal to both adults and teens.

Lucky us! We've got the overwhelming pleasure of hosting Michigan- based author/illustrator Laurie Keller for the second year in a row! The talent (and charm) behind such favorites as Do Unto Otters: A Book About Manners; Arnie, the Doughnut; and The Scrambled States of America, Laurie is an expert at ... (more)combining cleverly quirky illustrations with delightful dialogue. From doughnuts to dental hygiene, she can take ANY topic and make it entertaining. In her new picture book, The Scrambled States of America Talent Show , the wacky scrambled states are back! This time they’ve come together for a spectacular show featuring their many goofball talents. But just when Indiana (the director) is about to call SHOWTIME!, Georgia gets a bad case of stage fright and can’t perform in her juggling act. Will the show go on, or will it be curtains? Don't miss the madcap adventure and silly antics at our much-anticipated Laurie Keller event!

Join Diesel Bookstore for a green event with Van Jones, author of Green Collar Economy! ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Van Jones is the founder and president of Green For All, based in Oakland. The mission is to help build an inclusive, green economy - strong enough to lift millions of people out of poverty. Van ... (more)is a tireless advocate, championing "green-collar jobs and opportunities" for disadvantaged people. He is committed to creating "green pathways out of poverty," while greatly expanding the coalition fighting global warming. He's worked to combine solutions to America's two biggest problems: social inequality and environmental destruction. Under the slogan "green-collar jobs, not jails," he is calling for green economic development in urban America. As an advocate for the toughest urban constituencies and causes, he has won many honors, which include the 1998 Reebok International Human Rights Award, the international Ashoka Fellowship, selection as a World Economic Forum "Young Global Leader," and the Rockefeller Foundation "Next Generation Leadership" Fellowship. He's also served on the boards of numerous national environmental organizations. Presently, he is a board member of the National Apollo Alliance, which advocates for clean energy jobs. He is also a founding board member of 1Sky, a national coalition working to avert catastrophic climate change. In 2007, Van helped the City of Oakland pass a "Green Jobs Corps" proposal; the City allocated funds to train Oakland residents in eco-friendly "green-collar jobs." At the national level, Van worked successfully in 2007 with U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), U.S. Rep. Hilda Solis (D-CA), U.S. Rep. John Tierney (D-MASS) to pass the Green Jobs Act of 2007. That path-breaking, historic legislation authorized $125 million in funding to train 35,000 people a year in "green-collar jobs." Van is also a co-founder of a new national coalition that promotes the idea of a national "Clean Energy Jobs Corps." This multi-billion-dollar federal initiative would put hundreds of thousands of people to work rewiring and retrofitting the energy infrastructure of the United States. In 2005, Van produced the "Social Equity Track" for the United Nations' World Environment Day celebration. UNWED 2005 drew dozens of mayors from around the world to San Francisco, where they developed policies promoting the concept of "Green Cities." In 1996, Van co-founded (with Diana Frappier) the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, now located in Oakland, California. Named for an unsung civil rights heroine, the award-winning Center promotes alternatives to violence and incarceration. The Center, for which Van serves as board president, incubated Green For All in 2007 and spun it off in 2008. His many media appearances includes the popular Peabody award-winning show, The Colbert Report.PURCHASE OF THE BOOK RESERVES YOU A SEAT AT THE EVENT!
