Wrapping up One Book – One Lincoln 2008

One Book - One LincolnthirteenthtaleWith the presentations “A Haunting at Olin Hall” and “The Stories We Tell: Did That Really Happen?” in the past 5 days, all special programming associated with the 2008 One Book One Lincoln community reading event has concluded. There’s still one more public book discussion opportunity — Eastridge Presbyterian Church’s regular book group will be discussing The Thirteenth Tale on Monday, November 24th at 7:00 p.m. at 1135 Eastridge Dr. — visitors are welcome. If you would like a library staff member to lead a discussion of The Thirteenth Tale for your private/public book group, business, or social organization, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 441-8562 to make arrangements. Book Club in a Bag sets of 10 copies of this year’s selection are available for check-out to groups wanting to sample The Thirteenth Tale.

Meanwhile, we’ve still got recordings of some of the special programming events that are being polished up and posted on-line. Here’s what has recently become available to you:

It Was a Dark and Stormy Read
This presentation by UN-L’s Professor Laura Mooneyham-White, on the history and traditions of the Gothic Novel in literature, is available as a two-part audio podcast on the library’s Podcasts page.

Buried in Books: The Amazing Library of Thomas Jefferson Fitzpatrick
This presentation, by Lincoln historian and book lover Jim McKee (and made possible in part by  the Nebraska Humanities Council), was about a noted Lincoln college professor whose obsession with books led to more than one home filled floor to ceiling with his collection. This talk was videotaped and is now available as a series of 12 YouTube files on the library’s web site, starting with Part 1.

…and there’s more to come!
