SUMMARY:Author Talk with John Armbruster: Tailspin
DESCRIPTION:Join Author John Armbruster for a presentation and Q&A about his book\, Tailspin\, the true story of a Wisconsin WWII veteran you won’t believe is real! John’s presentation includes video and images from his research. Books will be available for sale. \nAbout the book:\nIn November 1943\, in the skies over Nazi Germany\, a wounded American tail gunner\, Gene Moran\, lay in the severed tail of his Flying Fortress bomber. The mangled wreckage plunged four miles toward German soil. His parachute shredded by enemy fire\, Gene awaited the inevitable. \nThe cartwheeling tail section slammed into a forest and dumped Gene onto the cold ground. He was alive! Gene fell four miles without a parachute and survived. But his ordeal had just begun. In the next seventeen months\, Gene would endure some of the worst episodes of the American prisoner of war experience in occupied Europe\, including the infamous “Hell Ship” and European Death March. \nFor more than sixty years\, Gene said little about one of the most extraordinary stories of World War II until he met the author\, John Armbruster. John\, a close friend of the Moran family\, initially refused to write Gene’s story. Twenty years removed from a journalism degree and writing high school basketball stories for newspapers\, John couldn’t imagine taking on such significant work. But the author agreed to the project when one of Gene’s daughters told John\, “He’ll do it\, but only if you write it.” The journey of telling the story becomes a story itself. \nTailspin ​chronicles Gene’s unbelievable World War II survival saga. It will also show an elderly man finally coming to terms with the cruelties of a war that would haunt his entire life. \nThis program is sponsored by the La Crescent Public Library and the Friends of the La Crescent Public Library.

SUMMARY:Author Natalie Warren: Hudson Bay Bound
DESCRIPTION:Grab a paddle and join Natalie Warren on her journey to become one of the first two women to paddle over 2\,000 miles from Minneapolis to Hudson Bay. This talk goes beyond day-to-day life on trail—wildlife encounters\, fierce weather\, struggles in an enduring friendship\, a furry addition to the expedition team\, and a polar bear sighting—to ponder how we come to know and care for places threatened by rapidly changing physical\, social\, and cultural landscapes. Through music\, storytelling\, and poetry\, Natalie inspires listeners to consider: What can water teach us about interconnectivity? As harmful repercussions of human actions are unveiled\, what can water show us about resilience\, reciprocity\, and hope? Get excited for your next adventure with a desire to know\, feel\, and breathe the complex world around you. \nThis project has been funded by the people of Minnesota through the Arts and Cultural Heritage Library Legacy fund\, in cooperation with SELCO – our regional library system.

SUMMARY:Book Club at the Library
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the library for our June Book Club discussion! This month we’re reading The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell (author of Cloud Atlas). Copies are available at the checkout desk. Just ask! \nAbout the book:\nFollowing a scalding row with her mother\, fifteen-year-old Holly Sykes slams the door on her old life. But Holly is no typical teenage runaway: a sensitive child once contacted by voices she knew only as “the radio people\,” Holly is a lightning rod for psychic phenomena. Now\, as she wanders deeper into the English countryside\, visions and coincidences reorder her reality until they assume the aura of a nightmare brought to life.\nFor Holly has caught the attention of a cabal of dangerous mystics—and their enemies. But her lost weekend is merely the prelude to a shocking disappearance that leaves her family irrevocably scarred. This unsolved mystery will echo through every decade of Holly’s life\, affecting all the people Holly loves—even the ones who are not yet born.\nA Cambridge scholarship boy grooming himself for wealth and influence\, a conflicted father who feels alive only while reporting from occupied Iraq\, a middle-aged writer mourning his exile from the bestseller list—all have a part to play in this surreal\, invisible war on the margins of our world. From the medieval Swiss Alps to the nineteenth-century Australian bush\, from a hotel in Shanghai to a Manhattan townhouse in the near future\, their stories come together in moments of everyday grace and extraordinary wonder.
