Join us for a discussion of "Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law" by Mary Roach!
Synopsis: Join "America's funniest science writer" (Peter Carlson, Washington Post) Mary Roach on an irresistible investigation into the unpredictable world where wildlife and humans meet. What's to be done about a jaywalking moose? A grizzly bear caught breaking and entering? A murderous tree? As New York Times best-selling author Mary Roach discovers, the answers are best found not in jurisprudence but in science: the curious science of human-wildlife conflict, a discipline at the crossroads of human behavior and wildlife biology.
Recommended for adults.
Hillsborough County Public Library will be hosting author Mary Roach on November 1 at the New Tampa Performing Arts Center. Learn more: https://hcplc.org/AuthorEvent

The Jan Kaminis Platt Regional Library was dedicated and opened to the public on December 11, 2000. The facility is named in honor of Jan Kaminis Platt, who served the community for over 20 years as a member of the Tampa City Council and as a Hillsborough County Commissioner. A fervent advocate for libraries, she was named to the American Library Association's Freedom to Read Honor Roll and received the Best Friend of the Year award from the Friends of the Library of Hillsborough County, Inc. in 1999.
The 25,000 square foot regional library, the 22nd branch in the county's library system, serves the south Tampa community with a full range of services and programs for customers of all ages.
The facility includes two meeting rooms for public use and a drive-through window for convenient check out and return of materials. It also features an opening day collection of nearly 90,000 books, magazines, CDs, videos, and DVDs, as well as computers to access a wide variety of electronic resources including the Internet and word processing software.
