Here's the line-up for what's going on at the Gnu's Room this week. For any who aren't familiar with it, the Gnu's Room is our local used bookstore/coffeeshop. They do a good job of keeping active with the Auburn Community and bringing in a lot of local talent, be it authors, lecturers, massage therapists, or singers. Be sure to check them out.
