Event Details

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 will be available at the Circulation Desk one month before the meeting date. Ebook copies are available through Libby and Boundless and eAudiobook copies are available through Hoopla with your Frankfort library card.
