Stump the Bookseller  Selection of the month

Description: stump.jpgR241: Racoon orphan gets adopted; hibernating bear mistaken for volcano
I'm quite sure it was something that could be found in the children's room at the local library. It was an illustrated story book, likely a compilation of different stories. One of them had a story about an orphaned raccoon who ended up taking care of himself but was a terrible mess. Most clearly from that story I recall an image of this raccoon eating a bunch of berries and becoming all sticky and covered in blueberry juice. Eventually he gets adopted by a new family (also raccoons, I presume), cleans up, and lives happily ever after. Also in this book: During the winter, while the area was covered in snow, one animal spotted a vent of steam coming out from a hole in the snow and presumed it to be a volcano, alerting all the other animals around and sending everyone into a panic. In the end, the vent of steam turned out to be just the warm breath of a hibernating bear.

Panel:  Coming of Age Novels

~ third Thursdays ~

Join us for a dialogue on coming-of-age novels with authors Tricia Springstubb (What Happened on Fox Street and others), Megan Whalen Turner (The Thief and its sequels), Bonnie Shaker (Coloring Locals), and Sarah Willis (Some Things that Stay and others).  Charles Oberndorf, author and a professor at University School, will act as moderator.  We’ll discuss the importance of coming-of-age novels, their value to young adult readers as well as adult readers, and how they have changed over the past 50 years.  Each panelist will give a short statement before letting those sparks give way to group discussion and Q&A.

Louis Adrean:  A History of the Ingalls Library and its Collections

~ at the Cleveland Museum of Art  ~

Louis Adrean, Senior Librarian for Research and Public Programs, will focus on the history, collections, and services available at the Ingalls Library at the Cleveland Museum of Art. When the museum was incorporated in 1913, plans were already underway for a library of 10,000 volumes. Almost 100 years later, the Ingalls Library has become the third largest art museum library in the United States. This internationally acclaimed treasure offers museum staff, scholars, researchers, students, and the public at-large, an unparalleled array of research materials, both print and electronic, as well as research assistance and public programs.  Meet us at 7pm in the lobby at the Cleveland Museum of Art, and we’ll proceed together to the Ingalls Library.

 

Classics Club
Sherwood Anderson: Winesburg, Ohio
Thursday, May 26

~ fourth Thursdays ~

... there is within every human being a deep well of thinking over which a heavy iron lid is kept clamped. Winesburg, Ohio (1919) is Sherwood Anderson's masterpiece, a cycle of short stories concerning life in a small Ohio town at the end of the nineteenth century. At the center is George Willard, a young reporter who becomes the confidant of the town's "grotesques" - solitary figures unable to communicate with others. --Goodreads.com
