flagship author event series,
returns for another season of bringing

authors and their books.

Douglas Preston &
Lincoln Child
Preston and Child discuss the tremendous new thriller
in their #1 bestselling series featuring FBI Special Agent
Pendergast and Constance Greene, “The Cabinet of Dr.
Leng.” Books available for purchase. A book signing will
follow. (60 min.) Preregister.
The thrillers of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child “stand head and
shoulders above their rivals” (Publishers Weekly). Preston and Child’s
“Relic” and “The Cabinet of Curiosities” were chosen by readers in a
National Public Radio poll as being among the one hundred greatest
thrillers ever written, and “Relic” was made into a number one box
office hit movie. They are co-authors of the famed Pendergast series,
and their recent novels include “Bloodless,” “The Scorpion’s Tail,”
“Crooked River,” “Old Bones” and “Verses for the Dead”. In addition to
his novels, Preston writes about archaeology for the New Yorker and
Smithsonian magazines. Child is a Florida resident and former book
editor who has published seven novels of his own, including such
bestsellers as “Full Wolf Moon” and “Deep Storm”.

The Board of County Commissioners serves as the legislative and policy-setting body
for County government; they enact Countywide laws and authorize programs and all
expenditures of County funds. They also act as the Child Care Facilities Board, the Solid
Waste Authority Governing Board, the Environmental Control Board and the Zoning Board.
Seven Commissioners are elected from single-member districts to staggered four-year
terms to represent the entire County. The Board of County Commissioners generally meets
on the first and third Tuesday of each month for public hearings and regular agenda items. Robert S. Weinroth Melissa McKinlay
During the first meeting of the month, with the exception of August, citizens may offer District 4 District 6

at www.pbcgov.com.
The 2023 exhibition will feature some of the most
fascinating pre-historic creatures to ever walk the
face of the earth. From the mighty T-Rex to the
tiny Raptor, you can get up-close-and-personal
and discover what it would have been like to walk
