SUMMARY:An evening with international soccer star Landon Donovan
DESCRIPTION:As excitement builds around the World Cup — played in part on U.S. soil this year — join the Coronado Public Library for a special evening with Landon Donovan\, widely regarded as one of the greatest American soccer players of all time. Donovan will share reflections from Landon: A Memoir\, offering an inside look at his life on and off the field\, from defining career moments to the challenges that shaped his journey beyond the game. \nA six-time MLS Cup champion and four-time U.S. Soccer Player of the Year\, Donovan remains the all-time assists leader for the U.S. Men’s National Team and is tied for the most international goals scored by an American man. His five World Cup goals make him the highest-scoring American male player in tournament history\, and Major League Soccer honored his legacy by naming its MVP award after him. Yet Donovan’s memoir goes far beyond trophies and highlight reels\, it’s a story of resilience\, vulnerability\, and self-discovery. \nThe event serves as a fundraiser for the Friends of the Coronado Public Library’s work with the Exceptional Families Program and requires a paid ticket for entry. The Friends of the Coronado Public Library are dedicated supporters who offer financial assistance for a variety of the Coronado Public Library’s programs that serve readers and learners of all ages. The Exceptional Families Program is a partnership with the Coronado Community Foundation and Camp Able which offers monthly programs that provide enrichment\, respite\, and community connection for families with special needs members\, particularly those who have aged out of school-based services or are transitioning beyond the classroom. \nTicket options include:  \n\n$10 entry only \n\n\n$29.95 for admission for one person and one copy of Landon: A Memoir\n\nTickets can be purchased at cplevents.org or adventuresbythebook.com/calendar-event/landon-donovan-4-11-26/.

SUMMARY:Best of the Best Book Club: "Every Living Thing" by Jason Roberts
DESCRIPTION:The Coronado Public Library’s Best of the Best Book Club meets regularly on the fourth Wednesday of each month to discuss books that have won major awards. \nFor our April meeting\, we will discuss the 2025 Pulitzer Prize winner Every Little Thing by Jason Roberts\, an epic and extraordinary account of scientific rivalry and obsession in the quest to survey all of life on Earth. \n \nAbout Every Little Thing \nIn the eighteenth century\, two men — exact contemporaries and polar opposites — dedicated their lives to the same daunting task: identifying and describing all life on Earth. Carl Linnaeus\, a pious Swedish doctor with a huckster’s flair\, believed that life belonged in tidy\, static categories. Georges-Louis de Buffon\, an aristocratic polymath and keeper of France’s royal garden\, viewed life as a dynamic swirl of complexities. Each began his task believing it to be difficult but not impossible: How could the planet possibly hold more than a few thousand species — or as many could fit on Noah’s Ark? \nBoth fell far short of their goal\, but in the process they articulated starkly divergent views on nature\, the future of the Earth\, and humanity itself. Linnaeus gave the world such concepts as mammal\, primate\, and Homo sapiens\, but he also denied that species change and he promulgated racist pseudoscience. Buffon formulated early prototypes of evolution and genetics\, warned of global climate change\, and argued passionately against prejudice. The clash of their conflicting worldviews continued well after their deaths\, as their successors contended for dominance in the emerging science that came to be called biology. \nIn Every Living Thing\, Jason Roberts weaves a sweeping\, unforgettable narrative spell\, exploring the intertwined lives and legacies of Linnaeus and Buffon — as well as the groundbreaking\, often fatal adventures of their acolytes — to trace an arc of insight and discovery that extends across three centuries into the present day.
