Food, beer and books

You’ve seen the posters in pretty much every establishment in town, so go and see what all the fuss is about. Maria’s Bookshop will sponsor a book release party from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thurs., Aug. 2 for Paco Ahlgren’s first novel, Discipline. The event will be held at Crossroads Durango, 1099 Main Ave. Refreshments will be provided, courtesy of Carvers and Guido’s.
