SUMMARY:Armchair Travelers Take to the Open Road: The Library of Legends by Janie Chang
DESCRIPTION:Join the Armchair Travelers Book Group as they Take to the Open Road! No registration is necessary\, just drop-in! Copies of The Library of Legends by Janie Chang are available to pick up at the library. Sponsored by the Friends of the JHPL. \nAbout the book: China\, 1937: When Japanese bombs begin falling on the city of Nanking\, nineteen-year-old Hu Lian and her classmates at Minghua University are ordered to flee. Lian and a convoy of more than a hundred students\, faculty\, and staff must walk a thousand miles to the safety of China’s western provinces\, a journey marred by hunger\, cold\, and the constant threat of aerial attack. And it is not just the student refugees who are at risk: Lian and her classmates have been entrusted with a priceless treasure\, a 500-year-old collection of myths and folklore known as the Library of Legends. \nHer family’s past has made Lian wary of forming attachments\, but the students’ common duty to safeguard the Library of Legends forms unexpected bonds. Lian finds friendship and a cautious romance with the handsome and wealthy Liu Shaoming. But after one classmate is murdered and another arrested\, Lian realizes she must escape from the convoy before a family secret puts her in danger. Accompanied by Shao and the enigmatic maidservant Sparrow\, Lian makes her way to Shanghai\, hoping to reunite with her mother. \nOn the journey\, Lian learns of the connection between her two companions and a tale from the Library of Legends\, The Willow Star and the Prince. Learning Shao and Sparrow’s true identities compels Lian to confront her feelings for Shao. But there are broader consequences too\, for as the ancient books travel across China\, they awaken immortals and guardian spirits to embark on an exodus of their own\, one that changes the country’s fate forever. \nBased on true events\, rich in Chinese history and lore\, The Library of Legends is both an illuminating exploration of China’s recent past and an evocative tale of love\, sacrifice\, and the extraordinary power of storytelling.

Copies of Travels with George: In Search of Washington and His Legacy by Nathaniel Philbrick are available to pick up at the library. Sponsored by the Friends of the JHPL. \nAbout the book: When George Washington became president in 1789\, the United States of America was still a loose and quarrelsome confederation and a tentative political experiment. Washington undertook a tour of the ex-colonies to talk to ordinary citizens about his new government\, and to imbue in them the idea of being one thing—Americans. \nIn the fall of 2018\, Nathaniel Philbrick embarked on his own journey into what Washington called “the infant woody country” to see for himself what America had become in the 229 years since. Writing in a thoughtful first person about his own adventures with his wife\, Melissa\, and their dog\, Dora\, Philbrick follows Washington’s presidential excursions: from Mount Vernon to the new capital in New York; a monthlong tour of Connecticut\, Massachusetts\, New Hampshire\, and Rhode Island; a venture onto Long Island and eventually across Georgia\, South Carolina\, and North Carolina. The narrative moves smoothly between the eighteenth and twenty-first centuries as we see the country through both Washington’s and Philbrick’s eyes. \nWritten at a moment when America’s founding figures are under increasing scrutiny\, Travels with George grapples bluntly and honestly with Washington’s legacy as a man of the people\, a reluctant president\, and a plantation owner who held people in slavery. At historic houses and landmarks\, Philbrick reports on the reinterpretations at work as he meets reenactors\, tour guides\, and other keepers of history’s flame. He paints a picture of eighteenth-century America as divided and fraught as it is today\, and he comes to understand how Washington compelled\, enticed\, stood up to\, and listened to the many different people he met along the way—and how his all-consuming belief in the union helped to forge a nation.

SUMMARY:Afternoon Book Group: The Lions of Fifth Avenue by Fiona Davis
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of The Lions of Fifth Avenue by Fiona Davis. Copies can be picked up at the library. Sponsored by the Friends of the JHPL. \nAbout the book: It’s 1913\, and on the surface\, Laura Lyons couldn’t ask for more out of life—her husband is the superintendent of the New York Public Library\, allowing their family to live in an apartment within the grand building\, and they are blessed with two children. But headstrong\, passionate Laura wants more\, and when she takes a leap of faith and applies to the Columbia Journalism School\, her world is cracked wide open. As her studies take her all over the city\, she is drawn to Greenwich Village’s new bohemia\, where she discovers the Heterodoxy Club—a radical\, all-female group in which women are encouraged to loudly share their opinions on suffrage\, birth control\, and women’s rights. Soon\, Laura finds herself questioning her traditional role as wife and mother. And when valuable books are stolen back at the library\, threatening the home and institution she loves\, she’s forced to confront her shifting priorities head on . . . and may just lose everything in the process. \nEighty years later\, in 1993\, Sadie Donovan struggles with the legacy of her grandmother\, the famous essayist Laura Lyons\, especially after she’s wrangled her dream job as a curator at the New York Public Library. But the job quickly becomes a nightmare when rare manuscripts\, notes\, and books for the exhibit Sadie’s running begin disappearing from the library’s famous Berg Collection. Determined to save both the exhibit and her career\, the typically risk-averse Sadie teams up with a private security expert to uncover the culprit. However\, things unexpectedly become personal when the investigation leads Sadie to some unwelcome truths about her own family heritage—truths that shed new light on the biggest tragedy in the library’s history.
