The Coronado Public Library, in partnership with Warwick’s, is proud to host bestselling author Clare Leslie Hall. She’ll discuss her new novel Broken Country — her U.S. debut and a Reese’s Book Club pick — in conversation with Jason Blitman. A celebrated journalist and novelist, her latest work is a sweeping love story with the pace and twists of a thriller full of simmering passion, impossible choices, and explosive consequences that toggles between the past and present to explore the far-reaching legacy of first love.

About Broken Country
Beth and her gentle, kind husband Frank are happily married, but their relationship relies on the past staying buried. But when Beth’s brother-in-law shoots a dog going after their sheep, Beth doesn’t realize that the gunshot will alter the course of their lives. For the dog belonged to none other than Gabriel Wolfe, the man Beth loved as a teenager — the man who broke her heart years ago. Gabriel has returned to the village with his young son Leo, a boy who reminds Beth very much of her own son, who died in a tragic accident.
As Beth is pulled back into Gabriel’s life, tensions around the village rise and dangerous secrets and jealousies from the past resurface, this time with deadly consequences. Beth is forced to make a choice between the woman she once was, and the woman she has become.

"Alice by Heart"
2025-10-17 19:00, 2025-10-18 19:00, 2025-10-19 14:00 | Coronado Performing Arts Center, 650 D Avenue, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
The Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) Musical Theatre and Drama Conservatory brings Alice by Heart to the stage. Alice by Heart is a touching musical which explores themes of grief, loss, and first love against the backdrop of World War II’s London Blitz.
The performance opens in the Coronado Performing Arts Center, 650 D Avenue, on Friday, Oct. 17 at 7 pm, with additional showtimes on Saturday, Oct. 18 at 7 pm, Sunday, Oct. 19 at 2 pm, Friday, Oct. 24 at 7 pm, and Saturday, Oct. 25 at 7 pm.
The story follows Alice Spencer and her dying friend, Alfred, as they seek refuge in an underground tube station and use their love for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland to escape the harsh realities of war. The musical celebrates the power of imagination and friendship to help people find the courage to move forward. While the original Alice in Wonderland is a fantasy, Alice by Heart uses the story as a metaphor for growing up, coping with death, and navigating first love in a time of crisis.
Director Barbara Wolf shares, “Alice By Heart is one of my new favorite musicals. My students introduced it to me two years ago, and I fell in love with it immediately! It is written by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater, who wrote the musical “Spring Awakening,” which is profound in its meaning and beautiful in its story and music. We are all very excited to be rehearsing this wonderful musical and then to share it.”
Alice By Heart is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
Tickets are available at cosafoundation.org. Advance ticket purchase is recommended.

AI in Higher Education: Navigating Our Future with Critical, Ethical, and Human-Centered AI Literacy
2025-10-22 11:00 - 12:00 | Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more prominent in higher education, it’s essential to develop AI literacy, which is the ability to understand, use, monitor, and critically reflect on AI applications. This skill isn’t just a technical one; it’s a vital extension of the critical thinking we already teach, like evaluating information and understanding authority.
This presentation will take a compassionate and human-centered approach, moving past “AI shaming” to encourage thoughtful engagement with these new tools. The discussion will cover the critical ethical and environmental issues tied to AI, including bias and inequality, social justice, concerns about privacy and data use, and touch on the environmental impact of AI technologies.
The session will also present a framework for how higher ed can incorporate these competencies into curricula, showing how librarians and educators are well-equipped to guide these conversations. By linking AI literacy to established information literacy principles, we help our campus communities navigate the intricate world of AI ethically, responsibly, and effectively.
