We're kicking off 2026 with The Martians: The True Story of an Alien Craze that Captured Turn of the Century America by David Baron.
"'There Is Life on the Planet Mars' -- New York Times, December 9, 1906. This New York Times headline was no joke. In the early 1900s, many Americans actually believed we had discovered intelligent life on Mars, as best-selling science writer David Baron chronicles in The Martians, his truly bizarre tale of a nation swept up in Mars mania." -- Description provided by publisher.
Copies of the book are available at the Library's Circulation Desk one month before the meeting date. Ebook copies are available through <a href="https://www.frankfortlibrary.org/borrow/digital-collection/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Libby</a> and <a href="https://www.frankfortlibrary.org/borrow/digital-collection/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Boundless</a> and eAudiobook copies are available through <a href="https://www.frankfortlibrary.org/borrow/digital-collection/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hoopla</a> with your Frankfort library card.

Jonathan Eig is the bestselling author of six books, including his most recent, Pulitzer Prize-winning King: A Life. Vividly written and exhaustively researched, it is the first major biography in decades of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.―and the first to include recently declassified FBI files. In this revelatory new portrait of the preacher and activist who shook the world, Eig gives us an intimate view of King, who masterfully employed peaceful protest in the streets but was rarely at peace with himself. From the classroom to the pulpit to the streets of Birmingham, Selma, and Memphis, Eig dramatically re-creates the journey of a man who recast American race relations and became our only modern-day founding father―as well as the nation’s most mourned martyr.
Eig began his writing career at age 16, working for his hometown newspaper, The Rockland County Journal News (N.Y.). He studied journalism at Northwestern University, and went on to work as a reporter for The New Orleans Times-Picayune, The Dallas Morning News, Chicago Magazine, and The Wall Street Journal.
​According to his parents, his greatest claim to fame is that his name once appeared in a Jeopardy! question. Eig lives in Chicago with his wife and children and shares office space with the laundry machines.
Mark Bazer will join Jonathan in conversation. The host of The Interview Show, Bazer also frequently moderates events for Chicago Humanities and is a contributing writer for Chicago magazine.
This event is made possible by Illinois Libraries Present (ILP), a statewide collaboration among public libraries offering premier events. ILP is funded in part by a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library, a department of the Office of Secretary of State, using funds provided by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services, under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). 
ILP is committed to inclusion and accessibility. American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation and Closed Captioning are provided for all events by default—no special request needed.
Registration for this event closes at 5pm on event day. Late registrations will be processed after the live event, allowing access to the event recording.
