SUMMARY:Feathers & Form Art Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join visual artist Stacie Birky Greene for a bird drawing workshop designed for people of all levels. In this hands-on session\, Stacie will guide participants through techniques to observe and sketch birds with confidence and creativity. You’ll learn how to see key features like proportion\, posture\, anatomy\, and feather texture\, and how to capture these on paper with simple\, expressive lines. The workshop also encourages participants to connect personally with nature as they draw — seeing birds not just as subjects\, but as living forms with motion\, attitude\, and character. \nThis program is for adults over the age of 18. Space is limited\, registration is recommended. Walk-ins will be accommodated as space permits.   \n\nOriginally from Colorado\, Stacie Birky Greene received degrees in Art and Art History from the University of Kentucky. She also studied in Florence\, Italy\, and at the Art Institute of Chicago. Although painting was the focus of her training\, she has explored her art in a wide variety of media\, including drawing\, performance\, photography\, installation and video. \nThe central focus of Birky Greene’s work has been to explore nature through a combination of materials and techniques. Her approach has often been guided by a fascination with form and shape\, particularly as nodes for connecting unlikely allies\, such as coral and cacti. By taking organic materials (or at least their representation) out of context\, she compels the viewer to revel in patterns of structural unity. Her recent work has also considered the impact of human consumption and climate change on the natural world. Appalled by mass deforestation and habitat destruction\, she has turned her attention to bird species that have gone extinct since the time of her own birth. The tangible results of this study will be revealed over the course of the next few years\, in a variety of projects. One feature of these works that is important to consider is her choice of materials: namely\, junk mail\, which she either uses “as is” or manipulates\, with the addition of other detritus\, into homemade paper. It is a project that implicates us all in its struggle: here are beautiful objects made\, nevertheless\, from unwanted materials. Moreover\, the materials themselves are the products of overconsumption of resources – fossil fuels burned in production and transportation\, and deforestation to provide wood pulp for paper. The problem of avian ecology and the pressures these birds face is multidimensional\, but the viewer is placed in the unlikely position of assessing and admiring the victim even as its emblem is formed from components that have been implicated in its destruction. \nBirky Greene lives in San Diego\, and she exhibits her artwork locally and internationally. She has taught art to children and adults since 1998.

SUMMARY:Best of the Best Book Club: "The Calculating Stars" by Mary Robinette Kowal
DESCRIPTION:The Coronado Public Library’s Best of the Best Book Club meets regularly on the 4th Wednesday of each month to discuss books that have won major awards. \nFor our March meeting\, we will discuss the 2019 Hugo Award winner The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal\, a novel that imagines an alternate history of spaceflight that speaks volumes about the present. \nPlace this title on hold via our online catalog\, or check out the e-book through the CloudLibrary app. \nAbout The Calculating Stars \nOn a cold spring night in 1952\, a huge meteorite fell to earth and obliterated much of the east coast of the United States\, including Washington D.C. The ensuing climate cataclysm will soon render the earth inhospitable for humanity\, as the last such meteorite did for the dinosaurs. This looming threat calls for a radically accelerated effort to colonize space\, and requires a much larger share of humanity to take part in the process. \nElma York’s experience as a WASP pilot and mathematician earns her a place in the International Aerospace Coalition’s attempts to put man on the moon\, as a calculator. But with so many skilled and experienced women pilots and scientists involved with the program\, it doesn’t take long before Elma begins to wonder why they can’t go into space\, too. \nElma’s drive to become the first Lady Astronaut is so strong that even the most dearly held conventions of society may not stand a chance against her.

SUMMARY:FILM FORUM CORONADO: "The Birds"
DESCRIPTION:Coronado Public Library\, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival\, presents FILM FORUM CORONADO\, taking place the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6 pm in the library’s Winn Room. Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterwards\, often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story. \nMarch 25: The Birds (1963\, PG-13\, 119 min) \nAlfred Hitchcock’s elaborate tease bristles with terror as the peaceful town of Bodega Bay descends into chaos when a massive avian onslaught attacks without warning. A bored socialite (Tippi Hedren) and a self-righteous lawyer (Rod Taylor) are thrust into the thick of mother nature’s revolt. With Suzanne Pleshette\, Jessica Tandy and Veronica Cartwright. \nPLEASE NOTE this film will take place on the fourth Wednesday of the month.

SUMMARY:San Diego Writers Festival
DESCRIPTION:The San Diego Writers Festival is a free\, community-based event designed to celebrate the power of writing and storytelling.  \nStories transform both the teller and the listener. In whatever form you welcome a story into your life—by reading a memoir or graphic novel\, listening to a podcast or a poetry reading\, watching a movie or play or going to the theater—stories are our pathways\, our links\, our bridges to one another. \nAt the San Diego Writers Festival\, we ask two important questions: What if there was a place where all stories could be nurtured and heard? What if we opened up our community to stories from those who have been under-served\, disenfranchised\, or neglected? \nWe invite you to join us on our mission to hear one another\, be educated and illuminated by one another\, and inspired by one another—one story at a time. \nJodi Picoult headlines 7th annual San Diego Writers Festival in Coronado

SUMMARY:Book launch: "The Last Special Thing" by Alyssa Burns
DESCRIPTION:2010 Coronado High School grad Alyssa Burns will celebrate the release of her debut novel\, The Last Special Thing (releases April 1) at a book launch party at the Coronado Tasting Room from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on March 30. The entire community is invited. \n\nAlyssa Burns with copies of her debut novel. Courtesy photo.\nThe Last Special Thing is a young adult fiction novel that tackles drug exploration\, a topic she approached with caution. It’s a book that she wished she had read while younger\, because it explores how quickly people can find themselves in unexpected situations. It aims to teach young readers to navigate these things without condescension. \n“You don’t open to page one and someone’s doing heroin\,” she said. “There’s a step stool to how these things escalate\, and that structure came naturally to this story.” \nBurns was intentional about refusing both glamorization of drugs and oversimplified scare tactics. \n“How we talk about drug use is: ‘Don’t do drugs because you’re going to get addicted and die\,’” she said. “Maybe you’re not going to get addicted and die\, but you’re also not going to have a good time. You’re going to make decisions you wouldn’t have made otherwise.” \nThe core message of the book is embedded in its title. \n“You don’t need drugs\, you don’t need a guy\, you don’t need a thrill to be special\,” Burns said. “You already are.” \n\nReaders can preorder a signed copy of The Last Special Thing on Alyssa Burns’ website.
