New Arrivals
Tuesdays at 7:19 am and 3:48 pm
Bay Area book tours and launch parties were canceled due to the coronavirus, so KALW producer Lisa Morehouse brought author readings to you in this socially-distanced book tour.
We loved the idea so much, we're going to keep the book party going with this pocket-sized book tour.
Want to tell us about a book that's being published soon by a local author? Write us at new.arrivals@kalw.org.
New Arrivals airs on KALW 91.7 FM in the San Francisco Bay Area on Tuesdays at 7:19 a.m. and 3:48 p.m.
