SUMMARY:High School Reunion: a YA Book Club for Grownups Discusses Gilded
DESCRIPTION:Do you like to read young adult novels? It’s cool; we do too! Join us for this special edition summer book club\, High School Reunion! It’s YA for grownups! \nCopies of the book can be checked out from the La Crescent Public Library. Just ask at the desk! Read the book\, and come discuss at Sports Hub in the side room over dinner and drinks! It’ll be a fun\, social\, engaging chat with other readers who love YA just as much as you! \nOur July selection is Gilded by Marissa Meyer. Fans of The Lunar Chronicles will love this reimagining of the tale of Rumpelstiltskin. \nABOUT THE BOOK:\nLong ago cursed by the god of lies\, a poor miller’s daughter has developed a talent for spinning stories that are fantastical and spellbinding and entirely untrue. \nOr so everyone believes. \nWhen one of Serilda’s outlandish tales draws the attention of the sinister Erlking and his undead hunters\, she finds herself swept away into a grim world where ghouls and phantoms prowl the earth and hollow-eyed ravens track her every move. The king orders Serilda to complete the impossible task of spinning straw into gold\, or be killed for telling falsehoods. In her desperation\, Serilda unwittingly summons a mysterious boy to her aid. He agrees to help her… for a price. \nSoon Serilda realizes that there is more than one secret hidden in the castle walls\, including an ancient curse that must be broken if she hopes to end the tyranny of the king and his wild hunt forever.

SUMMARY:“TESTIFY” EXHIBIT AT La Crescent Public Library
DESCRIPTION:June 14\, 2023 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE \n  \n[LA CRESCENT\, MN] – La Crescent Public Library presents the “Testify: Americana Slavery Today” photo gallery exhibit at La Crescent Public Library from June 20th – July 20th\, 2023. This event is free and open to the public during library hours. (Monday – Friday\, 10am – 6pm; Saturday\, 10am – 2pm) \n  \nFormer Minnesota Supreme Court Justice and NFL Hall of Famer Justice Alan Page and his family are again presenting their exhibit “TESTIFY: Americana from Slavery to Today.” This impactful exhibit of the Diane and Alan Page Collection of African-American art and artifacts was originally presented at the Hennepin County Library in 2018. Following the overwhelmingly positive response from the public\, the exhibit has returned in 2023 with a renewed call to action and a wider reach. It is now accessible to the public in Southeast Minnesota as a large-format\, high resolution photo gallery. The family hopes the exhibit will help bridge divides\, deepen dialogue and encourage action on justice. “The objects in the exhibit…juxtapose artifacts from our often-painful shared history with inspiring imagery and works of art that help us rise above it\,” the late Diane Sims Page said of the collection she started. She hoped that “by coming to grips with our past\, we can come together in the future.” Please join us to learn and reflect on the power we each have to act for causes of justice. \n  \nThe Pages produced the traveling exhibit in collaboration with local artist and designer Kurt Mueller and with the support of SELCO\, Great River Regional Library\, the Friends of the Hennepin County Library\, and The McKnight Foundation. For more information on Library Legacy funding\, and a complete schedule of Legacy-funded events in the region\, visit https://legacy.selco.info/. \n  \nAbout SELCO \nSELCO\, Southeastern Libraries Cooperating\, is a regional library system based in Rochester\, MN. Covering an 11-county region\, its membership is made up of 37 public libraries. Member libraries share resources\, programs\, personnel and technical innovations to achieve common goals and meet the needs of individual communities. For more information\, go to www.selco.info. \n  \nAbout Library Legacy Funding \nThis program is made possible by the people of Minnesota through Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund (ACHF). The ACHF was created in 2008 from the Clean Water\, Land and Legacy amendment to the Minnesota State Constitution. Minnesota’s 365 public libraries receive funding distributed through existing formulas to the 12 Minnesota Regional Library Systems to provide programs and services in four areas: arts (visual\, performing and media)\, culture\, literature and Minnesota history.
