The Friends of NIU Libraries is hosting a panel discussion on fantasy fiction.
The program, which is titled “Fantasy Fiction: Ask the Real Wizards,” will be held at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 14, in Rare Books and Special Collections on the fourth floor of Founders Memorial Library.

The panelists will include:
- NIU English professor David Gorman;
- Hugo Award-winning editor Lynne M. Thomas;
- Author and scholar Mary Anne Mohanraj; and
- Local geek librarian Steven Torres-Roman.
