– Then, we’ll recap the 2026 Book of the Year event at Cuesta College, which happened Tuesday April 28. Author Susan Straight wrote the powerful novel Sacrament about a group of ICU nurses, other frontline workers, and their families in California during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss Sacrament with Outreach Coordinator Jackie Kinsey, who also serves on the Book of the Year selection committee, as well as Juliane McAdam, president of the SLO County Library Foundation.
