SUMMARY:An Evening with Sarah Federman
DESCRIPTION:The Library\, with the Worldview Project and the San Diego Diplomacy Council\, present an evening with Dr. Sarah Federman\, author of Last Train to Auschwitz: The French National Railways and the Journey to Accountability. Join us on September 11\, 2024\, at 6:30 pm for an insightful discussion and a unique opportunity to meet the author in person. A “compelling blend of victims’ narratives and rigorous historical and legal analysis\, making a significant contribution to our understanding of corporate accountability and transitional justice\,” according to Leigh Payne of the University of Oxford\, this book shares the story of how the French National Railways were complicit in the Holocaust. \nLight refreshments will be provided. \nAbout the Book \nIn the immediate decades after World War II\, the French National Railways (SNCF) was celebrated for its acts of wartime heroism. However\, recent debates and litigation have revealed the ways the SNCF worked as an accomplice to the Third Reich and was actively complicit in the deportation of 76\,000 Jews and other civilians to death camps. Sarah Federman delves into the interconnected roles—perpetrator\, victim\, and hero—the company took on during the harrowing years of the Holocaust. Grounded in history and case law\, Last Train to Auschwitz traces the SNCF’s journey toward accountability in France and the United States\, culminating in a multimillion-dollar settlement paid by the French government on behalf of the railways. The poignant and informative testimonies of survivors illuminate the long-term effects of the railroad’s impact on individuals\, leading the company to make overdue amends. In a time when corporations are increasingly granted the same rights as people\, Federman’s detailed account demonstrates the obligations businesses have to atone for aiding and abetting governments in committing atrocities. This volume highlights the necessity of corporate integrity and will be essential reading for those called to engage in the difficult work of responding to past harms. \nAbout the Author \nSarah Federman is an author\, educator\, and conflict resolution practitioner. Prior to this work\, she spent a decade as an international executive working with clients such as Google and the NFL. A job transfer from Manhattan to Paris led her to an encounter with her own name on a Holocaust memorial wall. This moment prompted her to turn her attention to helping people avoid mass violence\, focusing specifically on corporate complicity. She is now an Associate Professor of Conflict Resolution at the Joan B Kroc School of Peace Studies at the University of San Diego.

SUMMARY:Spoilers Book Club: "Postcards From The Edge" by Carrie Fisher
DESCRIPTION:The Spoilers Book Club reads books that have been turned into movies. We read the book and get together to watch the film. We compare the two and discuss what we did and didn’t like. \n \n“Postcards From The Edge” by Carrie Fisher\n\nWhen we first meet the extraordinary young actress Suzanne Vale\, she’s feeling like “something on the bottom of someone’s shoe\, and not even someone interesting.” Suzanne is in the harrowing and hilarious throes of drug rehabilitation\, trying to understand what happened to her life and how she managed to land in a “drug hospital.” \nJust as Fisher’s first film role—the precocious teenager in Shampoo—echoed her own Beverly Hills upbringing\, her first book is set within the world she knows better than anyone else: Hollywood. This stunning literary debut chronicles Suzanne’s vivid\, excruciatingly funny experiences inside the clinic and as she comes to terms with life in the outside world. “Postcards from the Edge” is more than a book about stardom and drugs. It is a revealing look at the dangers—and delights—of all our addictions\, from money and success to sex and insecurity. \nFilm\n“Postcards from the Edge” (1990)\nRated R\nRuntime: 1h 41m

SUMMARY:Best of the Best Book Club: "Firekeeper's Daughter" by Angeline Boulley
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. Receive reminder emails about our meeting by registering. Registration is not required. \n \nFor our September meeting\, we will discuss the 2022 Printz Medal winner Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley\, a groundbreaking young adult thriller about a Native teen who must root out the corruption in her community. \nAbout Firekeeper’s Daughter:  \nEighteen-year-old Daunis Fontaine has never quite fit in\, both in her hometown and on the nearby Ojibwe reservation. She dreams of a fresh start at college\, but when family tragedy strikes\, Daunis puts her future on hold to look after her fragile mother. The only bright spot is meeting Jamie\, the charming new recruit on her brother Levi’s hockey team. \nYet even as Daunis falls for Jamie\, she senses the dashing hockey star is hiding something. Everything comes to light when Daunis witnesses a shocking murder\, thrusting her into an FBI investigation of a lethal new drug. \nReluctantly\, Daunis agrees to go undercover\, drawing on her knowledge of chemistry and Ojibwe traditional medicine to track down the source. But the search for truth is more complicated than Daunis imagined\, exposing secrets and old scars. At the same time\, she grows concerned with an investigation that seems more focused on punishing the offenders than protecting the victims. \nNow\, as the deceptions—and deaths—keep growing\, Daunis must learn what it means to be a strong Anishinaabe kwe (Ojibwe woman) and how far she’ll go for her community\, even if it tears apart the only world she’s ever known.

SUMMARY:Why Civic Education Matters with David Davenport
DESCRIPTION:Join the Library for an insightful discussion with author David Davenport on his book\, A Republic If We Can Teach It: Fixing America’s Civic Education Crisis. Davenport examines the urgent need for better civic education to preserve the republic\, highlighting the disconnect between young Americans and the foundational principles of self-government and freedom. Attendees will learn about this important issue and actionable solutions to bridge this civic knowledge gap at this talk. \n \n\nDavid Davenport is a research fellow emeritus at the Hoover Institution specializing in constitutional federalism\, civic education\, modern American conservatism\, and international law. During his career at Hoover\, he also served in administrative capacities as counselor to the director and the inaugural director of Hoover’s Washington\, DC\, program. Davenport is the former president of Pepperdine University (1985–2000). Under his leadership\, the university experienced significant growth in quality and reputation. He is the cofounder of Common Sense California and the Davenport Institute for Public Engagement and Civic Leadership. He also served on the board of California Forward\, a major bipartisan reform group\, and was a member of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s California Performance Review Commission. He is a former senior fellow of the Ashbrook Center\, where he worked on civic education projects. \nDavenport and Jeffrey Sikkenga have co-authored a new book on civic education in 2024\, A Republic If You Can Teach It: Fixing America’s Civic Education Crisis. With his colleague Gordon Lloyd\, Davenport co-authored Equality of Opportunity: A Century of Debate\, which was released in 2023. They also co-wrote How Public Policy Became War (2019)\, Rugged Individualism: Dead or Alive? (2017)\, The New Deal and Modern American Conservatism: A Defining Rivalry (2013); These books offer distinctive ways of understanding both historic and current debates between progressives and conservatives in the United States. \n\nA Republic If We Can Teach It: Fixing America‘s Civic Education Crisis is a call to action\, an effort to save our republic through better civic education. America faces a crisis in civic education that imperils the long-term health of the country. Too many Americans―especially young people―do not have the knowledge of history and principles necessary to sustain the republic. In what has become a vicious cycle\, young people are not learning about their country―its history and how it works―and they grow up disengaged and distrustful. Too many young people do not understand the principles of self-government on which America was founded. And they do not understand America’s history as the story of the struggle to live up to those principles of freedom articulated in documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Instead\, too many believe that America’s story is essentially one of oppression\, not freedom―injustice\, not hope. In the first half of the book\, authors Jeff Sikkenga and David Davenport diagnose the problem while proposing solutions in the second half. Truly\, America faces a civics crisis and action is needed now to reverse the trend.

Sayles divides his time between Los Angeles and Connecticut. \n  \nAbout To Save the Man In the vein of Never Let Me Go and Killers of the Flower Moon\, one of America’s greatest storytellers sheds light on an American tragedy: the Wounded Knee Massacre\, and the ‘cultural genocide’ experienced by the Native American children at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School . . . In September of 1890\, the academic year begins at the Carlisle School\, a military-style boarding school for Indians in Pennsylvania\, founded and run by Captain Richard Henry Pratt. Pratt considers himself a champion of Native Americans. His motto\, “To save the man\, we must kill the Indian\,” is severely enforced in both classroom and dormitory: Speak only English\, forget your own language and customs\, learn to be white. As the young students navigate surviving the school\, they begin to hear rumors of a “ghost dance” amongst the tribes of the west—a ceremonial dance aimed at restoring the Native People to power\, and running the invaders off their land. As the hope and promise of the ghost dance sweeps across the Great Plains\, cynical newspapers seize upon the story to whip up panic among local whites. The US government responds by deploying troops onto lands that had been granted to the Indians. It is an act that seems certain to end in slaughter. As news of these developments reaches Carlisle\, each student\, no matter what their tribe\, must make a choice: to follow the white man’s path\, or be true to their own way of life . . . \n  \nMerridee Book is the CEO + Artistic Director of the Coronado Island Film Festival.

SUMMARY:Best of the Best Book Club: "The Vegetarian" by Han Kang
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. Receive reminder emails about our meeting by registering below. Registration is not required. \nFor our January meeting\, we will discuss the 2016 Booker Prize winner The Vegetarian by Han Kang\, who recently made history by becoming the first Korean and the first Asian Nobel laureate in literature. \nPlace this title on hold via our online catalog\, or check out the e-book through the CloudLibrary app. \n \nAbout The Vegetarian \nBefore the nightmares began\, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary\, controlled life. But the dreams—invasive images of blood and brutality—torture her\, driving Yeong-hye to purge her mind and renounce eating meat altogether. It’s a small act of independence\, but it interrupts her marriage and sets into motion an increasingly grotesque chain of events at home. As her husband\, her brother-in-law and sister each fight to reassert their control\, Yeong-hye obsessively defends the choice that’s become sacred to her. Soon their attempts turn desperate\, subjecting first her mind\, and then her body\, to ever more intrusive and perverse violations\, sending Yeong-hye spiraling into a dangerous\, bizarre estrangement\, not only from those closest to her\, but also from herself. \nCelebrated by critics around the world\, The Vegetarian is a darkly allegorical\, Kafka-esque tale of power\, obsession\, and one woman’s struggle to break free from the violence both without and within her.

SUMMARY:Book Launch with "USA Today" Bestselling Author Jennifer Coburn: "The Girls of the Glimmer Factory"
DESCRIPTION:The library\, in partnership with Adventures by the Book\, presents an exclusive pre-release celebration of The Girls of the Glimmer Factory\, the latest novel from Jennifer Coburn\, author of Cradles of the Reich. Set against the backdrop of WWII\, this poignant tale of resistance\, friendship\, and the dangers of propaganda is inspired by the true story of Theresienstadt. \nMeet the author and hear her discuss this moving story about two women on opposite sides of history—Hannah\, a Jewish prisoner fighting to reveal the truth\, and Hilde\, a Nazi loyalist desperate to make a name for herself in the Reich Ministry of Propaganda. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Seating is first-come\, first-served\, subject to availability. Limited preferred seating is available with purchase of The Girls of the Glimmer Factory through Adventures by the Book. Please visit adventuresbythebook.com/calendar-event/jennifer-coburn-1-22-25 for more information. \nA New Glimpse Into WWII: “The Girls of the Glimmer Factory” \n \n\nAbout The Girls of the Glimmer Factory: Hannah longs for the days when she used to be free\, but now she is a Jewish prisoner at Theresienstadt\, a model ghetto where the Nazis plan to make a propaganda film to convince the world that the Jewish people are living well in the camps. But Hannah will do anything to show the world the truth. Along with other young resistance members\, they vow to disrupt the filming and derail the increasingly frequent deportations to death camps in the east. \nHilde is a true believer in the Nazi cause\, working in the Reich Ministry of Enlightenment and Propaganda. Though they’re losing the war\, Hilde hasn’t lost faith. She can’t stop the Allied bombings\, but she can help the party create a documentary that will renew confidence in Hitler’s plans for Jewish containment. When the filming of Hitler Gives a City to the Jews faces production problems due to resistance\, Hilde finds herself in a position to finally make a name for herself. And when she recognizes Hannah\, an old childhood friend\, she knows she can use their friendship to get the film back on track. \n\nJennifer Coburn is the author of Cradles of the Reich\, a historical novel about three very different women living at a Nazi Lebensborn breeding home at the start of World War ll. She has also published a mother-daughter travel memoir\, We’ll Always Have Paris\, as well as six contemporary women’s novels. Additionally\, Jennifer has contributed to five literary anthologies\, including A Paris All Your Own. Jennifer lives in San Diego with her husband\, William. Their daughter\, Katie is currently in graduate school. When Jennifer is not going down historical research rabbit holes\, she volunteers with So Say We All\, a live storytelling organization\, where she is a performer\, producer\, and performance coach. She is also an active volunteer with Reality Changers\, a nonprofit that supports low-income high school students in becoming the first in their families to attend college.

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. Receive reminder emails about our meeting by registering below. Registration is not required. \n\nFor our February meeting\, we will discuss the 2014 Newberry Honor winner Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson\, a powerful memoir that tells the moving story of her childhood in mesmerizing verse. \nPlace this title on hold via our online catalog\, or check out the e-book through the CloudLibrary app. \n \nAbout Brown Girl Dreaming \nRaised in South Carolina and New York\, Woodson always felt halfway home in each place. In vivid poems\, she shares what it was like to grow up as an African American in the 1960s and 1970s\, living with the remnants of Jim Crow and her growing awareness of the Civil Rights movement. Touching and powerful\, each poem is both accessible and emotionally charged\, each line a glimpse into a child’s soul as she searches for her place in the world. Woodson’s eloquent poetry also reflects the joy of finding her voice through writing stories\, despite the fact that she struggled with reading as a child. Her love of stories inspired her and stayed with her\, creating the first sparks of the gifted writer she was to become.

Because Barbie has never been just a doll—she’s a legacy. \nAbout Renée Rosen  \nRenée Rosen is the USA Today bestselling author of “Fifth Avenue Glamour Girl\,” “The Social Graces\,” “Park Avenue Summer\,” “Windy City Blues\,” “White Collar Girl\,” “What the Lady Wants\,” and “Dollface.” Renée lives in Chicago.
