Join the Coralville Public Library for an Open Book program featuring Stefanie Kaylor and Sylvia Nemmers, two Iowans sharing powerful personal stories about identity and living authentically.

In Life on Two Spectrums, Stefanie Kaylor reflects on recognizing and embracing her identities as both autistic and queer, weaving together the challenges of self-acceptance with the joy of claiming her full self.

In The Path to Authenticity is Paved with Vulnerability, Sylvia Nemmers shares her journey from being born blind and navigating early institutional schooling to earning a PhD in Environmental Science and becoming a department chair — exploring how vulnerability can lead to strength and authenticity.

Open Book is a partnership between CultureALL and Humanities Iowa that invites thoughtful conversation and shared reflection. Come ready to listen, learn, and connect.
