Yet in 2022, a new player on the national scene outshone them all. George Anthony Devolder Santos, and his revolving door of pseudonyms, shed glaring new light on how far we all let our politics slide as his claimed resume was shred to bits in the wake of a longshot run to office from New York's 3rd Congressional District. From Wall Street gigs to an amateur volleyball career, from embellished claims of Jewish heritage to a fabricated 9/11 story involving his mother's death, Santos' legend continued to grow as his web of lies evaporated in real time. And the only thing wilder than this charlatan embedding himself in the warm, consequence-evading arms of our nation's capital was the Queens con artist's refusal to bow his head in shame. The Santos show continues, as he joins the ranks of high-wattage fakers like Anna Delvey and Elizabeth Holmes.</div></span></span></div></h2></div></div>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02990907481549868586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425704399340453922.post-71730683523456700182024-01-17T09:24:00.000-05:002024-01-17T09:24:28.599-05:00Feb 1st through Feb 16th - Blind Date with a Book<div><h2 class="has-vivid-red-color has-text-color" style="border: 0px; color: #cf2e2e; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 30px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span class="tadv-color" style="border: 0px; color: #cf2e2e; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">BLIND DATE WITH A BOOK</span></strong></h2></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For those of you in love with books, we are bringing back our Blind Date With a Book program. <b>Beginning Thursday, February 1</b>, readers can check out a wrapped book and find out the title when they get home. Inside the package is a form to write your name, barcode and a short review of the book, including your opinion. You can return the form to the Reference Desk. The program will <b>end Friday, February 16</b> and we will not accept forms after that date. A drawing from the completed forms will be held for a small Valentine prize. While you can check out as many titles as you want, only the first completed form will be entered into the drawing.

The theme is Stories of Exile. Stories of Exile is a reading and discussion program to engage teens and adults in thinking about experiences of displacement, migration, and diaspora. Using Yiddish literature as a portal, the program will feature works in translation that explore narratives which grapple with questions of homelands, journeys, identity, and belonging. Reading groups will compare these works written in Yiddish in the early and mid-20th century to works by contemporary writers from all across the globe.</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: black; font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></strong></div><div><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://encore.alisweb.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb13017469?lang=eng" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="192" data-original-width="128" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7nghvRw4hRDvD1mruzwVhmDdFKlHBANGPAk6A5diPeTqThC0DAFpdKA8uL9nhn-47L0oZU1jSkVjSGLOLr8VUsHLpDq8_PWnahfDYfwbkLZBu0dAJ0JrCxfGQX_8TTVbVFKQfrTb9mA78gAEYV6Kmsnizf9i_43v3C2BZ98LJds8WbpsHTRfqYV0SRzc/s1600/glatstein.png" width="128" /></a></div><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">November 27 at 1:00 p.m. - </strong><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The Glatstein Chronicles</em> by Jacob Glatstein, Edited by Ruth Wisse, translated by Maier Deshell and Norbert Guterman</strong></strong></strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><p style="border: 0px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: start;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Discussion Leader: Donna Rosenblum from LI Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center. </strong></p><p style="border: 0px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: start;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a aria-label="Register online by clicking on this link - opens in new tab" href="https://www.eventkeeper.com/code/ekform.cfm?curOrg=EM&curID=671994" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="border: 0px; color: #ee6361; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" target="_blank">Register online by clicking on this link</a>, or by calling 516-794-2570, option 3.</strong></p></strong></strong></strong></div></strong></strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></strong></strong></strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This seminal American work from the Yiddish literary canon, in a restored English edition, offers the luminous narrative of the author's journey home to his Polish birthplace. In 1934, with World War II on the horizon, Jacob Glatstein (1896-1971) traveled from his home in America to his native Poland to visit his dying mother. One of the foremost Yiddish poets of the day, he used his journey as the basis for two autobiographical novellas, together known as <i>The Glatstein Chronicles</i>, in which he intertwines childhood memories with observations of growing anti-Semitism in Europe.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">The discussion will focus mainly on book one, Homeward Bound, of this collection.</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i style="text-align: justify;">The Yiddish Book Center’s “Stories of Exile” Reading Groups for Public Libraries is made possible by a gift from Sharon Karmazin</i><span style="font-style: italic; text-align: justify;">.</span></div>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02990907481549868586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425704399340453922.post-11094393662795875642023-09-21T13:33:00.013-04:002023-10-12T17:33:45.228-04:00Oct 23 @ 6:45 PM - Murder Mystery Party<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6nqczjx33tKf90X0dXJ7xo8KwXixMyX9k7e7MCIBHICshuM8Mweenb8eyH_V22tkvR8wgMYSx5IdmdAiIGrVaJrI24jmcLskw8u-6HpRouc6hYyP4Eqkidh7mcB9mAT73lI9f0iClGUNKBjIUVmx-JA5noMztJhAk6ERJ8xcAdSUTar1T2T9gbpBpYxk/s300/HATTERS-BALL-BANNER%20REV.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="300" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6nqczjx33tKf90X0dXJ7xo8KwXixMyX9k7e7MCIBHICshuM8Mweenb8eyH_V22tkvR8wgMYSx5IdmdAiIGrVaJrI24jmcLskw8u-6HpRouc6hYyP4Eqkidh7mcB9mAT73lI9f0iClGUNKBjIUVmx-JA5noMztJhAk6ERJ8xcAdSUTar1T2T9gbpBpYxk/s1600/HATTERS-BALL-BANNER%20REV.png" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: left;"><b style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span>MURDER MYSTERY PARTY - October 23, 2023 at 6:45 p.m.</span></b></p><div style="text-align: justify;">Love trying to figure out who done it when you read a mystery?

Using a rare 16mm film print, Keith Crocker will show one of the classics from the golden age of Mexican horror cinema, <i>The Witch’s Mirror (El Espejo de la Bruja)</i>, from 1962. This film will be shown in the library’s reading garden, drive-in style. In this delightfully creepy tale directed by Chano Urueta, a husband murders his wife, and years later her ghost emerges from a witch’s mirror to take her revenge. In conjunction with the movie, we will briefly discuss Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s horror fiction masterpiece that bedazzles the reader with spells, hexes, evil sorcerers, and cursed films, <i>Silver Nitrate</i>. Besides presenting the film, Keith Crocker will discuss other Mexican horror movie classics. Grab some popcorn and enjoy the show!</div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLOByiWnPzEfSrFdR-cUyZlm67WPn7bnjHnXnezH9Lwvxqu6-gJwNGjnok8N-k4w8FbvMQszI3sJRSAW7J_raxHge-L8-Sm0B-S5PAMC5HDAJ-kqlL-WWFYZ7ZC5jCZEZ6hvghGWP2n-EcdQnfGpH1QC7KHBH2oZl3yMgDIfp9046pLA4mlwXikkUvooU/s542/mexmovienight.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="228" data-original-width="542" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLOByiWnPzEfSrFdR-cUyZlm67WPn7bnjHnXnezH9Lwvxqu6-gJwNGjnok8N-k4w8FbvMQszI3sJRSAW7J_raxHge-L8-Sm0B-S5PAMC5HDAJ-kqlL-WWFYZ7ZC5jCZEZ6hvghGWP2n-EcdQnfGpH1QC7KHBH2oZl3yMgDIfp9046pLA4mlwXikkUvooU/w400-h169/mexmovienight.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02990907481549868586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425704399340453922.post-52669050347540951462023-08-15T09:19:00.003-04:002023-08-21T13:26:48.056-04:00Sept 11 @ 7 PM - In the Land of the Postscript<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://eastmeadow.info/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/stories-of-exile.pdf" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="83" data-original-width="200" height="83" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-2qLYPiq2o5XnBMrR-aqzZMJz5aPf0u3VD6ig4hlLRz-BUYuPn_Z8J-aKnxyMkD0IRNzA48NYehWEK6wHLEnxyfqOi9E4Pev2-PxmjuyCUPSqtJDzvejRn0EuMz18NPqGonYzJZOokOBM9arKfGV6h2sdsE6MXht0GMudzZ33SdtAaF3vgw01Cgc8lIQ/s1600/storiesofexilerev.png" width="200" /></a></div><p></p><h2 style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 30px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span class="tadv-color" style="border: 0px; color: #cf2e2e; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="https://eastmeadow.info/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/stories-of-exile.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="border: 0px; color: #ee6361; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" target="_blank">STORIES OF EXILE</a></span></strong></h2><div><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The East Meadow Public Library was awarded a book discussion grant by the Yiddish Book Center.

Reading groups will compare these works written in Yiddish in the early and mid-20th century to works by contemporary writers from all across the globe.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: "open sans"; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://encore.alisweb.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb13053324?lang=eng&ivts=kASoWY5KKOJ4TdoklKPWiA%3D%3D&casts=2gCodsKNDhEOFEWZQz0NTg%3D%3D" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="192" data-original-width="128" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPjCWS02BKzGO7GZc2IVHpfS6BBfQKVc49hWQ0ITwHoD2y_xgUH1yLbP61is3vQcysyuFrCNONPMUbJBQqZ0mipZ-TKDCw6eFcyBdRqDL4NRAXcNWQZ6kD2xQB-ukPBw4m936RjfhVbOEhb7hZCZDoD19cQJhbau2QD_AMBVI5fBwbQxAXiKJ8H8VRKdQ/s1600/inlandpostscript.png" width="128" /></a></div><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">September 11 at 7:00 p.m. - </strong><i>In the Land of the Postscript: Short Stories by Chava Rosenfarb</i></span>, translated by Goldie Morgentaler</strong></strong></span></strong></strong></div></strong></span></strong></strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></strong></strong></div><div><p style="border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">This collection makes available in English for the first time a complete selection of Chava Rosenfarb’s short stories all in one place.

Looking at real estate isn’t usually a life-or-death situation, but an apartment open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they can’t fix their own marriage. There’s a wealthy bank director who has been too busy to care about anyone else and a young couple who are about to have their first child but can’t seem to agree on anything, from where they want to live to how they met in the first place. Add to the mix an eighty-seven-year-old woman who has lived long enough not to be afraid of someone waving a gun in her face, a flustered but still-ready-to-make-a-deal real estate agent, and a mystery man who has locked himself in the apartment’s only bathroom, and you’ve got the worst group of hostages in the world.</div><span style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">No registration required</strong><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px;">.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The eBook version of <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Anxious People</em> can be accessed through the <a aria-label="Nassau Digital Doorway. - opens in new tab" href="https://nassau.overdrive.com/nassau-eastmeadow/content/media/5152790" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="border: 0px; color: #ee6361; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" target="_blank">Nassau Digital Doorway.</a></strong></div></strong><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://eastmeadow.info/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Guide-Anxious-People.pdf" target="_blank">Discussion guide for <i>Anxious People</i>.</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: justify;">For more information, please call the Reader Services Department at 516-794-2570 ext. 1236.</span></div></div></div>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02990907481549868586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425704399340453922.post-41220470829397663302023-07-10T16:04:00.000-04:002023-07-10T16:04:36.371-04:00July 24 @ 1 PM - We Are Displaced by Malala Yousafzai<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjSDct6OuB_0pGAO6DO2MsWj_jlOT7hGWSX_g8QPZYqZxwrA_nJupgq3BQbIegXFU7ONWHEkawi98pdbi8rva9-UiuDjIN_7TYuq3H8fGlUqBzqv9SNihQUB_mtuMDzmU-RM9XW03I5C5bSUtuU32CRx-wvycXkEv1U3wQghwdpy85Ldonn7kJZI0A/s200/storiesofexilerev.png" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="83" data-original-width="200" height="83" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjSDct6OuB_0pGAO6DO2MsWj_jlOT7hGWSX_g8QPZYqZxwrA_nJupgq3BQbIegXFU7ONWHEkawi98pdbi8rva9-UiuDjIN_7TYuq3H8fGlUqBzqv9SNihQUB_mtuMDzmU-RM9XW03I5C5bSUtuU32CRx-wvycXkEv1U3wQghwdpy85Ldonn7kJZI0A/s1600/storiesofexilerev.png" width="200" /></a><br /><br /></div><div><h2 style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 30px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span class="tadv-color" style="border: 0px; color: #cf2e2e; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="https://eastmeadow.info/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/stories-of-exile.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="border: 0px; color: #ee6361; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" target="_blank">STORIES OF EXILE</a></span></strong></h2></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The East Meadow Public Library was awarded a book discussion grant by the Yiddish Book Center.

Your goal is simple. Get out alive.</b> Four young Wall Street rising stars discover the price of ambition when an escape room challenge turns into a lethal game of revenge. Trapped in the dark, the colleagues must put aside their bitter rivalries and work together to solve cryptic clues to break free. But as the game begins to reveal the team’s darkest secrets, they realize there’s a price to be paid for the terrible deeds they committed in their ruthless climb up the corporate ladder. As tempers fray, and the clues turn deadly, they must solve one final chilling puzzle: which one of them will kill in order to survive?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px;

The theme is Stories of Exile. Stories of Exile is a reading and discussion program to engage teens and adults in thinking about experiences of displacement, migration, and diaspora. Using Yiddish literature as a portal, the program will feature works in translation that explore narratives which grapple with questions of homelands, journeys, identity, and belonging. Reading groups will compare these works written in Yiddish in the early and mid-20th century to works by contemporary writers from all across the globe.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://encore.alisweb.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb12964654?lang=eng" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="204" data-original-width="128" height="204" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8_nuNpPh4SSPZamYu-95IBovEB0TCUXqCUyrFnR1U8mFjYnZqPd1alnf_y6nKi-464aIuI2jMtsjiubGFEjJBmOAScdam8mTvZJSVNNcg2VuF6bJderLAHYimwxrTBtxEZ87XkSQdXRKm-fcgqYglBI0ukuD5wtHHFVsF6-4Ndm3aEL-f61OgPhn0/s1600/onthelanding.png" width="128" /></a></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>May 23 at 7:00 p.m. -<i> On the Landing: Stories by Yenta Mash</i>, translated by Ellen Cassedy</b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In these sixteen stories, available in English for the first time, prize-winning author Yenta Mash traces an arc across continents, across upheavals and regime changes, and across the phases of a woman’s life. Mash’s protagonists are often in transit, poised “on the landing” on their way to or from somewhere else. In imaginative, poignant, and relentlessly honest prose, translated from the Yiddish by Ellen Cassedy, Mash documents the lost world of Jewish Bessarabia, the texture of daily life behind the Iron Curtain in Soviet Moldova, and the challenges of assimilation in Israel. On the Landing opens by inviting us to join a woman making her way through her ruined hometown, recalling the colorful customs of yesteryear—and the night when everything changed. We then travel into the Soviet gulag, accompanying women prisoners into the fearsome forests of Siberia. In postwar Soviet Moldova, we see how the Jewish community rebuilds itself.

Only days after they’ve arrived in Salem, Edward abruptly joins a departing ship as a medic––leaving Isobel penniless and alone in a strange country, forced to make her way by any means possible. When she meets a young Nathaniel Hawthorne, the two are instantly drawn to each other: he is a man haunted by his ancestors, who sent innocent women to the gallows––while she is an unusually gifted needleworker, troubled by her own strange talents. As the weeks pass and Edward’s safe return grows increasingly unlikely, Nathaniel and Isobel grow closer and closer. Together, they are a muse and a dark storyteller; the enchanter and the enchanted. But which is which? Meticulously researched yet evocatively imagined, <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Hester</em> is a timeless tale of art, ambition, and desire that examines the roots of female creative power and the men who try to shut it down.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="border: 0px; color: #ee6361; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;"><a href="https://eastmeadow.info/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Hester-Discussion-guide.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="border: 0px; color: #ee6361; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" target="_blank">Discussion guide for <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Hester.</em></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="border: 0px; color: #ee6361; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;"><a href="https://eastmeadow.info/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Scarlet-Letter-Cheat-Sheet-EM.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="border: 0px; color: #ee6361; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" target="_blank"><em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Scarlet Letter </em>Cheat Sheet</a></div><p></p>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02990907481549868586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425704399340453922.post-19761119646674891912023-04-11T09:17:00.001-04:002023-04-11T09:17:59.085-04:00Meet the Authors - April 18 @ 2 PM & April 20 @ 7 PM<p style="text-align: center;"><b> </b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>MEET THE AUTHORS<br /><br /></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrkXJQMAcT8p7iumN0caWOSpD4imRoqVj46XJ4KsDq3s7u7ZWsBIt1jb-cOPpo5PWZ-QPv-6LCgeJS8Fdo9XHjLmiUus6TWFC6vZNCOzyaF3BEtUTO2ggRN7KROc5FmP2kwpEhZiQ5Y371hde9GZzAeMKyk0YH0uFHxoP3udWrPFM0zxbmfasnCgH0/s315/anthony-john-and-book.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="179" data-original-width="315" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrkXJQMAcT8p7iumN0caWOSpD4imRoqVj46XJ4KsDq3s7u7ZWsBIt1jb-cOPpo5PWZ-QPv-6LCgeJS8Fdo9XHjLmiUus6TWFC6vZNCOzyaF3BEtUTO2ggRN7KROc5FmP2kwpEhZiQ5Y371hde9GZzAeMKyk0YH0uFHxoP3udWrPFM0zxbmfasnCgH0/s1600/anthony-john-and-book.jpg" width="315" /></a></div></div><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><span class="tadv-color" style="border: 0px; color: #cf2e2e; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><span class="tadv-color" style="border: 0px; color: #cf2e2e; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></strong></span></strong></div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span class="tadv-color" style="border: 0px; color: #cf2e2e; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">April 18 at 2:00 p.m. - John Aldridge and Anthony Sosinski</strong></span></strong></div></strong></span></strong><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px;">We are so excited to have the authors of this year’s Long Island Reads book, </span><em style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">A Speck in the Sea</em><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px;">.

In the dead of night on July 24, 2013, John Aldridge was thrown off the back of the Anna Mary while his fishing partner, Anthony Sosinski, slept below. As desperate hours ticked by, Sosinski, the families, the local fishing community, and the U.S. Coast Guard in three states mobilized in an unprecedented search effort that culminated in a rare and exhilarating success. A tale of survival, perseverance, and community, it recounts one man’s struggle to survive as friends and strangers work to bring him home.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Moderator: Nancy Solomon, Director of Long Island Traditions</strong></div></strong><p></p><p style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">No Registration Needed</strong></p><p style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">COPIES ARE AVAILABLE AT THE LIBRARY</strong></p><p style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The eBook version of <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">A Speck In The Sea</em></strong></strong> <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">can be accessed through the <a href="https://nassau.overdrive.com/nassau-eastmeadow/content/media/2946662" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="border: 0px; color: #ee6361; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" target="_blank">Nassau Digital Doorway.</a></strong></p><p style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://longislandreads.files.wordpress.com/2023/02/speck-in-the-sea-readers-guide-1.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="border: 0px; color: #ee6361; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" target="_blank"><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span class="tadv-color" style="border: 0px; color: #cf2e2e; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Reader’s guide for <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">A Speck In The Sea</em>.</span></strong></a></p><p style="border: 0px; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="https://longislandreads.wordpress.com/" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="border: 0px; color: #ee6361; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" target="_blank">Click here for more information on Long Island Reads.</a></strong></p><p style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span class="tadv-color" style="border: 0px; color: #cf2e2e; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">MEET THE AUTHORS JOHN ALDRIDGE AND ANTHONY SOSINSKI ON APRIL 18 AT 2:00 P.M.</span></strong></p><div style="text-align: justify;">For more information, please call the Reader Services Department at 516-794-2570 ext. 1236</div>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02990907481549868586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425704399340453922.post-76925047992597286502023-02-21T10:29:00.004-05:002023-02-21T10:30:29.758-05:00March 20 @ 7 PM - Evening Book Discussion: Hester by Laurie Lico Albanese<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://encore.alisweb.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb12956997?lang=eng&ivts=3d8VghBMefxhPMTo4ulrPg%3D%3D&casts=P%2BiuFd0OB%2FhtXN84aalaXg%3D%3D" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="195" data-original-width="128" height="195" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzzAi4vHl9TTlJXsbBEooZIEBecAC7_TBjQvmoq0rCEfQVXStzJ-qc-vCV1DCtwU2fIKe4VFGNoc9_5SDhiNnRPS4LoWI98lS94M0RuyYq6dGWYEPlfs5XziZuMJscAg0dn2Am83XuoSqXv26FJeIKlM1Ws64SdFUResq3gTxlTj_nP9pShBjijqQm/s1600/hester.png" width="128" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Join us on March 20 at 7:00 pm as we discuss <i>Hester</i> by Laurie Lico Albanese. Isobel Gamble is a young seamstress who sets sail from Scotland in the early 1800s with her husband, Edward. Only days after they’ve arrived in Salem, Edward abruptly joins a departing ship as a medic––leaving Isobel penniless and alone in a strange country, forced to make her way by any means possible. When she meets a young Nathaniel Hawthorne, the two are instantly drawn to each other: he is a man haunted by his ancestors, who sent innocent women to the gallows––while she is an unusually gifted needleworker, troubled by her own strange talents. As the weeks pass and Edward’s safe return grows increasingly unlikely, Nathaniel and Isobel grow closer and closer. Together, they are a muse and a dark storyteller; the enchanter and the enchanted. But which is which? Meticulously researched yet evocatively imagined, <i>Hester </i>is a timeless tale of art, ambition, and desire that examines the roots of female creative power and the men who try to shut it down<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">.</span></div><p></p><p style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="https://www.eventkeeper.com/code/ekform.cfm?curOrg=EM&curID=630438&CFID=73032442&CFTOKEN=a0814e975ec1cdfb-92A33B9F-D4AE-528A-53501D84C3F7B270" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="border: 0px; color: #ee6361; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" target="_blank">Register online by clicking on this link,</a> or call us at 516-794-2570 option 3</strong>.</p><p style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The eBook version of <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Hester</em> can be accessed through the <a href="https://nassau.overdrive.com/nassau-eastmeadow/content/media/8328484" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="border: 0px; color: #ee6361; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" target="_blank">Nassau Digital Doorway.</a></strong></p><p style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://eastmeadow.info/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Hester-Discussion-guide.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="border: 0px; color: #ee6361; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" target="_blank">Discussion guide for <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Hester.</em></a></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Laurie Lico Albanese will be appearing at the library on April 20 at 7:00 p.m.</b></p><div style="text-align: justify;">For more information, please call the Reader Services Department at 516-794-2570 ext. 1236.</div><div class="styles_HTMLContent__LDG2k" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0px; padding-left: 70px; padding-right: 70px; word-break: break-word;"></div><div class="styles_HTMLContent__LDG2k" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0px; padding-left: 70px; padding-right: 70px; word-break: break-word;"></div>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02990907481549868586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425704399340453922.post-40490572770269701772023-01-25T09:13:00.002-05:002023-01-25T09:21:14.275-05:00Feb 1st through Feb 17th - Blind Date with a Book<p></p><div><h2 class="has-vivid-red-color has-text-color" style="border: 0px; color: #cf2e2e; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 30px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span class="tadv-color" style="border: 0px; color: #cf2e2e; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">BLIND DATE WITH A BOOK</span></strong></h2></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For those of you in love with books, we are bringing back our Blind Date With a Book program. <b>Beginning Wednesday, February 1</b>, readers can check out a wrapped book and find out the title when they get home.

This first book in the Dublin Murder Squad series is both a gripping police procedural and psychological thriller. Detective Rob Ryan has a past very few people know about. When he was 12 years old, he was found in the woods, clinging to a tree, shoes soaked in blood, and his two best friends were missing, never to be found. He was so deeply traumatized that he could not recall a single detail of what had happened. 20 years later, Rob Ryan and his partner, Cassie Maddox, investigate the case of Katy Devlin, a 12-year-old who has been murdered in the same woods. While searching for this killer, Ryan hopes to solve his own cold case and finally discover what happened to his childhood friends. </div><p></p><p style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Meeting in-person at the East Meadow Public Library.</strong></p><p style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="https://www.eventkeeper.com/code/ekform.cfm?curOrg=EM&curID=610600&CFID=63393002&CFTOKEN=482a0ae0ece83da8-3499CD7A-D4AE-528A-5350419B94DF216D" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="border: 0px; color: #ee6361; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" target="_blank">Register online by clicking on this link,</a> or call us at 516-794-2570 ext. 3 and ask for Programming.</strong></p><p style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The eBook version of <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">In The Woods</em> can be accessed through the <a href="https://nassau.overdrive.com/nassau-eastmeadow/content/media/203677" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="border: 0px; color: #ee6361; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" target="_blank">Nassau Digital Doorway.</a></strong></p><p style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/300448/in-the-woods-by-tana-french/9780143113492/readers-guide/" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="border: 0px; color: #ee6361; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" target="_blank"><b>Discussion guide for <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">In The Woods</em>.</b></a></p><p style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; text-align: justify;">For more information, please call the Reader Services Department at 516-794-2570 ext. 1236.</span></p>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02990907481549868586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425704399340453922.post-52390947938089787522022-10-27T18:49:00.003-04:002022-10-31T15:39:19.577-04:00Nov 30 @ 7 PM - Evening Discussion: The Ballerinas by Rachel Kapelke-Dale<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://encore.alisweb.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb12852418?lang=eng&ivts=5rMGHFq44j6bmBuEwGsN9w%3D%3D&casts=ydQH%2FZHt5LGsg%2Fiuaze1Lw%3D%3D" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="194" data-original-width="128" height="194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijBPMtk4EUaYrtC9VGN44sP6upbRw5191MAPMTqgAUd8jvOTjKgvIBuceIyf8qf0jJe6j4cdNVDmZySgZK1J30s4uR8eYdbvPtFPksE44C8UqWYhRCqUD2kgCkOE4sKGmVPW1r7G8dU6yQwMEhiJiFxCo4qQnyhrEHqoO0JlVWHSUq4wtO2D18LX8J/s1600/ballerinas.png" width="128" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Join us in-person on November 30 at 7:00 pm as we discuss <i>The Ballerinas</i> by Rachel Kapelke-Dale. Fourteen years ago, Delphine abandoned her prestigious soloist spot at the Paris Opera Ballet for a new life in St. Petersburg–taking with her a secret that could upend the lives of her best friends, fellow dancers Lindsay and Margaux. Now 36 years old, Delphine has returned to her former home and to the legendary Palais Garnier Opera House, to choreograph the ballet that will kickstart the next phase of her career–and, she hopes, finally make things right with her former friends. But Delphine quickly discovers that things have changed while she’s been away…and some secrets can’t stay buried forever.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The eBook version of <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The Ballerinas</em> can be accessed through the <a href="https://nassau.overdrive.com/nassau-eastmeadow/content/media/5982173" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="border: 0px; color: #ee6361; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" target="_blank">Nassau Digital Doorway.</a></strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start;"><a href="https://www.eventkeeper.com/code/ekform.cfm?curOrg=EM&curID=610598&CFID=63239252&CFTOKEN=1fd0af05710b729d-CE503C55-D4AE-528A-53506BC4E4596899" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="border: 0px; color: #ee6361; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" target="_blank">Register online by clicking on this link,</a> or call us at 516-794-2570 ext. 3 and ask for Programming.</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://readinggroupchoices.com/books/ballerinas/" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="border: 0px; color: #ee6361; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" target="_blank">Discussion guide for <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The Ballerinas.</em></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">For more information, please call the Reader Services Department at 516-794-2570 ext. 1236.</span></div>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02990907481549868586noreply@blogger.com0
