# Event Details

- **Event Name**: An Evening with Author Lisa Borders! In Conversation with Whitney Scharer
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 05 Dec, 2025 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us as we welcome author Lisa Borders to the store! Lisa will be discussing her latest novel Last Night at the Disco, an outrageous trip back to the 1970s, as seen through the eyes of a New Jersey junior high school teacher, Lynda Boyle, who spends her weekends at Studio 54. Four decades later, Lynda believes she hasn’t been given proper credit for discovering two of the most influential musicians of the 1980s – one a student in her class, the other an ex whose career she derailed. In telling her story, Lynda hopes to secure what she believes is her rightful place in rock and roll history. If she settles a few other scores along the way, that’s just a bonus.

Lisa will be joined in conversation by author Whitney Scharer.
