SUMMARY:Humor\, Heart\, and Reflective Rural Stories with Michael Perry
DESCRIPTION:Register and Ask Questions of the Author \nJoin us in conversation with bestselling author and humorist Michael Perry\, whose collection of genre-spanning works encapsulates the experiences–and the magic–of rural town communities and the everyday people who reside in them.  \nIn Michael Perry’s memoir\, Population: 485\, the local vigilante is a farmer’s wife armed with a pistol and a Bible\, the most senior member of the volunteer fire department is a cross-eyed butcher with one kidney and two ex-wives\, and the back roads are haunted by the ghosts of children and farmers. Against a backdrop of fires and tangled wrecks\, bar fights and smelt feeds\, Perry tells a frequently comic tale leavened with moments of heartbreaking delicacy and searing tragedy.  \nJesus Cow\, Perry’s fiction debut\, is a hilarious yet sincere exploration of faith and the foibles of modern life. Low-key Harley Jackson finds himself entangled in drama from all corners: A woman in a big red pickup has stolen his bachelor’s heart\, a Hummer-driving predatory developer is threatening to pave the last vestiges of his family farm\, and inside his barn is a calf bearing the image of Jesus Christ–a secret he wants to keep quiet\, until the truth slips right through the barn door.  \nRegister today to hear more about Perry’s expansive collection of stories! \nAbout the Author: Michael Perry is a New York Times bestselling author\, humorist\, corporate speaker\, volunteer firefighter/first responder\, and amateur snowplow driver. A lifelong resident of the rural Midwest\, his “reflective roughneck” takes on life in Middle America have left hundreds of thousands of readers and live audiences laughing\, nodding\, and sometimes misty. \nPerry\, a registered nurse who put himself through college working as a Wyoming cowboy and a roller-skating Snoopy produces the popular audio newsletter “Michael Perry’s Voice Mail\,” performs widely as a humorist and speaker\, tours with his band The Long Beds\, works as a script writer\, voiceover artist and audiobook narrator\, and still makes an occasional call with the local volunteer fire and rescue service. \nPerry lives in rural Wisconsin and can be found online at www.sneezingcow.com.

SUMMARY:Is the Book Always Better? Book + Movie Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Whether you love or hate film adaptations of your favorite stories\, this book club is the place to have an exciting conversation about books\, casting choices\, plot changes\, cinematography\, and more! We meet every other month with a new title each time. Joining is easy! Check out the book for the “Is the Book Always Better?” book club at the public service desk.  \nWhere the Crawdads Sing \n“Painfully beautiful.”—The New York Times Book Review \nFor years\, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” have haunted Barkley Cove\, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969\, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead\, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark\, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent\, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home\, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty\, Kya opens herself to a new life—until the unthinkable happens. \nWhere the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world\, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story\, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were\, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps. \n  \nMarch 9th we’ll meet to talk about our experience reading the novel and watching the 2022 film adaptation. Join us at 6:00 PM in the library sun room whether you’ve read the book\, watched the movie or both!

SUMMARY:The Astral Library with Kate Quinn - Virtual Author Talk
DESCRIPTION:Register and Ask Questions of the Author \nYou’re invited to join us for a virtual conversation with acclaimed author Kate Quinn about her latest fantastical work\, The Astral Library\, which poses the question: Have you ever wished you could live inside a book? Welcome to the Astral Library\, where books are not just objects\, but doors to new worlds\, new lives\, and new futures. \nAlexandria “Alix” Watson has learned one lesson from her barren childhood in the foster-care system: unlike people\, books will never let you down. Working three dead-end jobs to make ends meet and knowing college is a pipe dream\, Alix takes nightly refuge in the high-vaulted reading room at the Boston Public Library\, escaping into her favorite fantasy novels and dreaming of far-off lands. Until the day she stumbles through a hidden door and meets the Librarian: the ageless\, acerbic guardian of a hidden library where the desperate and the lost escape to new lives…inside their favorite books. \nThe Librarian takes a dazzled Alix under her wing\, but before she can escape into the pages of her new life\, a shadowy enemy emerges to threaten everyone the Astral Library has ever helped protect. Aided by a dashing costume-shop owner\, Alix and the Librarian flee through the Regency drawing rooms of Jane Austen to the back alleys of Sherlock Holmes and the champagne-soaked parties of The Great Gatsby as danger draws inexorably closer. But who does their enemy really wish to destroy—Alix\, the Librarian\, or the Library itself? \nRegister now to hear more about The Astral Library\, crafted for all bookworms and lovers of literature.  \nAbout the Author: Kate Quinn is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of historical fiction. A native of Southern California\, she attended Boston University\, where she earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in classical voice. A lifelong history buff\, she has written four novels in the Empress of Rome Saga and two books set in the Italian Renaissance before turning to the 20th century with The Alice Network\, The Huntress\, The Rose Code\, The Diamond Eye\, and The Briar Club. The Astral Library is her first foray into magic realism. She and her husband now live in Maryland with their rescue dogs.

SUMMARY:Art Talk - Music in Art
DESCRIPTION:For centuries\, music and visual art have danced together inspiring creativity across every medium. From masters like Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso\, who found rhythm in color and form\, to the rise of album artwork as a musician’s visual signature\, the connection between sight and sound has always been electric. \nThis creative relationship truly rocked in the 1960s and ’70s\, when album covers became works of art in their own right. That magic is still alive today! \nJoin us for an Art Talk with Kim Ivancovich from Hutchinson Community College\, where we’ll explore how music inspires art and vice versa. Talk about your favorite album covers of music themed artwork with us. \nThen\, get hands-on as we create our own music-inspired art together — a chance to connect\, create\, and celebrate our shared love of artistic expression. \nRSVP today and let us know you’ll be joining the fun! Thank you for supporting your library and Hutchinson Community College through your participation — we can’t wait to make art with you!
