    On Thursday, June 2, start your Arts Walk on the right foot at Riverside Public Library with author Stephanie Barbé Hammer as we launch of her latest novel, Pretend Plumber: An Adventure! With plenty of free parking in back (enter from University Avenue), RPL is the perfect place to kick off your evening – and celebrate summer at the same time. This event will include the playlist from the book, independent booksellers in the open arcade area at street level, poetry writing on analog typewriters with Typewriter Muse Bob Marshall, and an open mic. Plus, freshly popped popcorn! Don’t miss it!

    Pretend Plumber: An Adventure tells the story Sarassine Anfang, a precocious, queer-curious Los Angeles teen, who grows so fed up with her wealthy, dysfunctional Jewish Hancock Park family that she decides to run away to her grandfather's Wilshire condo, and become a plumber. But her chocolate eating grandmother and her distracted parents have other ideas.
