Rick Swann
Our School Garden!

New city. New school. Michael is feeling all alone -- until he discovers the school garden! There's so many ways to learn, and so much work to do. Taste a leaf? Mmm, nice and tangy hot. Dig for bugs? "Roly-poly!" he yells. But the garden is much more than activities outdoors: making school garden stone soup, writing Found Poems and solving garden riddles, getting involved in community projects such as Harvest Day, food bank donations, and spring plant sales. Each season creates a new way to learn, explore, discover and make friends.

Waiting for Sunrise
William Boyd

I think William Boyd is one of the finest writers in the English language, and that if there were a god, Boyd would have won every literary prize by now. His latest novel, Waiting for Sunrise, is set primarily in Vienna in the years leading up to World War I. It is part thriller, part historical novel, and altogether captivating. The portrait of Vienna at the dawn of psychoanalysis is especially compelling. If you haven't read Boyd yet, this is a fine place to start.

Glaciers
Alexis M. Smith

Wednesday, May 30th at 7 pm

Isabel is a single, twentysomething thrift-store shopper and collector of remnants, things cast off or left behind by others. Glaciers follows Isabel through a day in her life in which work with damaged books in the basement of a library unrequited love for the former soldier who fixes her computer, and dreams of the perfect vintage dress move over a backdrop of deteriorating urban architecture and the imminent loss of the glaciers she knew as a young girl in Alaska.
