After the storytime, Rachel will lead a fun sketching session where kids can see how her characters are drawn and try some drawing of their own.

📚 #STBF Author Session: The Search Committee Not only will José Skinner be joining us for Un Cafecito with the Authors, he’ll also be part of Festival Day at the South Texas Book Festival with his session “The Search Committee: A Book Talk,” happening at Main Library (4001 N. 23rd St.) on Saturday, October 25 at 3PM, followed by a book signing. In “The Search Committee,” Skinner takes readers into the uneasy space where university politics meet border realities. When a professor escorts a job candidate across the river for lunch, the trip takes an unexpected turn—the woman disappears, the professor stays silent, and what follows is a chain of cover-ups and consequences that reach far beyond the classroom. Written with sharp wit and an intimate understanding of life along the border, Skinner’s novel blends dark humor with truth, tension, and the kinds of questions that don’t come with easy answers.
