Arroyo Book Club’s April Pick…

 

image of book cover

The Arroyo Book Club will be reading The Unquiet Dead by Ausma Zehanat Kahn for our April discussion. To quote the LA Times:

Khan is a refreshing original, and The Unquiet Dead blazes what one hopes will be a new path guided by the author's keen understanding of the intersection of faith and core Muslim values, complex human nature and evil done by seemingly ordinary people. It is these qualities that make this a debut to remember and one that even those who eschew the [mystery] genre will devour in one breathtaking sitting. 

We will come together to discuss the book on Saturday, April 25 at 3 p.m. It will be a hybrid meeting so you have the option of attending in person or via Zoom. If you’d like to join us via Zoom send an email to ayosco@lapl.org so we can get the link to you.

Murder Most Fowl

 

image of book cover

Meg Langslow, Donna Andrews’ detective, returns in Murder Most Fowl.  This time around Meg is hosting the actors for her husband’s staging of Macbeth as well as an eccentric band of Scottish re-enactors.  Of course trouble also makes an appearance. Trouble starts with a string of vandalism attacks but it’s not too long before murder also makes an appearance.  Join Meg and her eccentric family, as well as an ever increasing animal coterie, as justice is found.

Donna Andrews can be counted on to deliver a satisfying and amusing mystery and she does not disappoint here. While the book is well into the series, it can be read as a standalone. I would recommend it to those who appreciate a light mystery.

Monthly Trivia Question (Answer)….

image of each of washington's parents

This month the question was who were George Washington’s parents?  George’s father was Augustine Washington, born in 1694 in Westmoreland, VA.  His mother was Mary Ball, born in 1708 in Pennsylvania. I took an unusual route to the answer this time, using a genealogy database. In this particular case, MyHeritage Library Edition

MyHeritage Library Edition is one of the largest, most internationally diverse genealogy databases of its kind in the world. It includes billions of historical documents from over 48 countries, millions of historical photos, public records, indexes and additional resources. Find it on the library’s Research & Homework page under “M” and access it with your library card.

Arroyo Book Club’s March Pick…

 


The Arroyo Book Club will be reading Quiet by Susan Cain for our March discussion. As the catalog description puts it:

“In Quiet, Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so. She charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal throughout the twentieth century and explores how deeply it has come to permeate our culture. She also introduces us to successful introverts--from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Passionately argued, impeccably researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet has the power to permanently change how you see yourself."

Stop by the branch to pick up a copy to read. You will find them in the usual location, just ask if you don’t know where that is.  

We will come together to discuss the book on Saturday, March 28 at 3 p.m. It will be a hybrid meeting so you have the option of attending in person or via Zoom. If you’d like to join us via Zoom send an email to ayosco@lapl.org so we can get the link to you.

Central Library Turns 100

Celebrating a Century of the Light of Learning

drawing of arroyo seco library

“Dedicated in July 1926, the Los Angeles Central Library became an instant architectural icon and guiding light of learning for the City. For this significant milestone, the Los Angeles Public Library is pleased to present Central 100, a year-long celebration that brings together residents from all corners of Los Angeles.”

There will be all sorts of programs and special exhibits all year in celebration of this important milestone.  Let me draw your attention to two programs of interest that folks can interact with at their local branches:

Card Catalog Stamp Collection
Pick up a set of historic card catalog cards at any Library location. Carry them with you. Stamp them at our branches. Make them your own. (image above is our stamp … pretty right!)

Beanstack Challenge
Pick up a coloring page at any Library location to participate in this special color-by-number challenge! You will need to use the Beanstack app to enroll and track your progress.  Learn how to sign up here 

Keep track of all the programs and special events going on here

Monthly Trivia Question (Answer)….

 

Egyptian style line carving of 2 figures

This month the question was what do you know about the “Hymn to the Nile”?  I will answer by quoting from the introduction to the source of this question:

“The “Hymn to the Nile“ is an ancient Egyptian composition also known as the “Hymn to the Inundation“ or the “Hymn to Hapy,” dating to the early twentieth century b.c.e. and attributed to a scribe called Khety. Consisting of about two hundred of lines of verse written in short columns, it is an unusual sort of hymn in that it was not part of any known temple ritual. Hapy, god of the Nile River and its flood, had no temple and perhaps no priests or temple ritual particular to his worship. Nonetheless, he was a very popular and extremely important god. This hymn was likewise very popular, and many ancient copies exist. It was no doubt sung or recited at festivals in honor of the god and the Nile’s life-giving inundation.”

Certainly, a very old hymn.

The question, and answer, were found in Milestone Documents of World Religions. Milestone Documents of World Religions is a Salem History e-Book. It examines key sacred texts and fundamental documents of the world's primary religions, from ancient times to present.  Find it on the library’s Research & Homework page under “M” and access it with your library card.

Monkey Around

image of book cover

If you’re looking for interesting urban fantasy that is peopled by creatures originating from the myths of peoples who did not originate in Europe then Monkey Around by Jadie Jang is just what you’re looking for.  Maya McQueen is a shape shifter.  An unusually powerful one and she does not know her origins. She was a foundling.  She knows she can take any shape and that her default one is a monkey. There have been a string of shape shifter murders and as someone who is driven to involve herself in everything (blame monkey curiosity) as well as someone who works in a shape shifter sanctuary she gets involved in trying to find the killer.  At the same time she’s looking to help the recently entangled with gangs younger sister of a long time crush. The two cases connect unexpectedly and Maya must make some tough decisions.

The book is particularly fascinating because the shape shifters peopling its pages find their origins in Aztec, Indonesia, and Asian mythology. I would recommend it to anyone with a taste for fantasy.

Arroyo Book Club’s February Pick…

 

image of book cover

The Arroyo Book Club will be reading The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride for our February discussion. As the catalog description puts it:

"In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows… When the truth is finally revealed about what happened on Chicken Hill and the part the town's white establishment played in it, McBride shows us that even in dark times, it is love and community--heaven and earth--that sustain us."

Stop by the branch to pick up a copy to read. You will find them in the usual location, just ask if you don’t know where that is.  

We will come together to discuss the book on Saturday, February 28 at 3 p.m. It will be a hybrid meeting so you have the option of attending in person or via Zoom. If you’d like to join us via Zoom send an email to ayosco@lapl.org so we can get the link to you.

Monthly Trivia Question (Answer)….

 

painting showing man addressing a political body all in 18th c. dress

This month we asked for the name of a man instrumental in the wars for independence in South America?  There are many right answers but we were thinking of Simón Bolívar and José de San Martín.  

Bolívar was influential in achieving independence in the Spanish territories that included modern-day Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador. José de San Martín played major and minor roles in the liberation of Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chile. Both of these men worked simultaneously on different ends of South America, and then met in the middle to liberate Peru together.

The question, and answer, were found in Latino American Experience. The Latino American Experience provides over 200 volumes of content, from encyclopedias to biographies, and primary documents dating from pre-Colonial civilizations, that explore Latino history and contemporary culture in the United States. Includes a timeline, images, maps, and lesson plans.  Find it on the library’s Research & Homework page under “L” and access it with your library card.

Committed

 


In Committed Adam Stern recounts his experience as a Psychiatric Resident.  Stern shares his experiences during his first and second years, his encounters with patients, interacting with his teachers and his fellow residents, his self-doubt, and his growing competence. The book is a fascinating look at the workings of a psychiatric ward and is told entirely in a conversational, no medical experience or knowledge needed to understand what’s going on, manner.

I would recommend this to anyone who likes to “walk in someone else’s shoes” via memoir.

Telescope Night

 

backlit image of a man looking through a telescope

The ever-popular Telescope Night returns (weather permitting) to the Arroyo Seco Library on Tuesday, January 27.  We will begin at 6:30 and wrap things up shortly before the library closes at 8:00.  We should be able to see Saturn, Jupiter and the Moon.  Mark your calendar and plan to drop by.  Do note that the event is weather dependent, so if there are clouds on the day give us a call after 3:00 for word on the status of the program.

For those who don’t know what Telescope Night is…  During Telescope Night a group of local astronomers, the Sidewalk Astronomers, sets up telescopes outside the library and points them at objects of interest in the night sky.  Everyone is invited to take as many turns as they’d like looking through the telescopes.  The Sidewalk Astronomers are very knowledgeable and will answer your questions & chat about how they made the telescopes.  Bring your questions with you.

So We Meet Again

 


If you’re after some escapist, light romance then So We MeetAgain by Suzanne Park meets the bill.  Jessie Kim, a go-getting Wall Street financier, is laid off. She moves back home to Nashville to lick her wounds and work out what’s next. Struck by inspiration she launches a new business to provide “hacks” to prepackaged meals to bring a zest of Korean spiciness to their rescue.  During all of this she runs into Daniel Choi, also back in town. Daniel was her childhood nemesis, the kid her parents always measured her against. And, annoyingly, Daniel appears to still have it all together. 

If you can overlook the slightly improbability of Jessie rather rapid success once her business starts, you will find a charming story packed full of characters you wouldn’t mind spending time with in real life. Pick it up for a couple of hours of escape.
