Daniel James Brown speaks 4/9/15

Certainly enjoyed hearing the author speak about his book, how it came about, choices he made in writing, the clip from the gold medal race, and his summary of what he felt the themes were...the ones I noted to myself were the humility and humbleness of these nine young men, that made them unique, but "of their time". Hope others of you will add your thoughts and post on our blog.

Community Discussion Tonight!

 I am really looking forward to seeing you tonight! Not only will it be interesting to hear everyone's opinions and impressions of Boys in the Boat, but it will just be good to see you!

  I also  have tickets for our early admission to the reception for Daniel James Brown, author of Boys in the Boat. If you cannot make it, I hope that you can stop by the library on Wednesday during open hours so that I can give you the ticket. We will get a chance to find seats early as well as meet the author before the general public, since we are an NCRL Book Club.

I am bringing celery boats with Smoky Jal, blue cheese and pimento,   german sausage, with chablis mustard ( since we can't have the wine at the library ) , apple slices, and sea salt potato chips. We'll also have coffee, tea and water.

See you tonight!!
