We will send you an invitation to the Zoom Meeting along with instructions for Zoom. \nThe Truth According to Us/ Annie Barrows \nMiss Layla Beck\, the daughter of a powerful Senator from Delaware refuses to marry the gentleman her father has chosen for her and is forced to get a job working for the FWP to write the first official account of Maecdonian History. Her notions of real life–the social whirl of Newport and New York–are totally upended and she despairs in rooming with the overly eccentric Romeyn family in such a small backwater town. The Romeyn family is a fixture in the town\, their identity tied to its knotty history. Layla enters their lives and lights a match to the family veneer and a truth comes to light that will change each of their lives forever in deeply personal and powerful ways. As Layla embarks on this grand adventure to establish historical moments in print\, her first friend\, the town librarian Ms. Betts wisely cautions: “There is a problem with history. All of us see a story according to our own lights. None of us is capable of objectivity.” Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression and told through the incredible voices of three narrators you quickly come to love–Layla Beck\, Jottie Romeyn\, and her niece\, twelve year old Willa–this is an intimate family novel of love and family\, of history and truth\, and of struggle and hope\, filled with the kind of characters once you discover\, you’ll never forget– Provided by publisher.

Bryan Stevenson was a gifted young attorney when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative\, a legal practice dedicated to defending the poor\, the wrongly condemned\, and those trapped in the furthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian\, a young man sentenced to die for a notorious murder he didn’t commit. The case drew Stevenson into a tangle of conspiracy\, political machination\, and legal brinksmanship – and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever.–Back cover.

To attend\, send an email to Michelle at Librarian@IrondaleLibrary.org\, or message us through Facebook. We will send you an invitation to the Zoom Meeting along with instructions for Zoom. \nAbout the Book: The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes \nSet in Depression-era America\, a breathtaking story of five extraordinary women and their remarkable journey through the mountains of Kentucky and beyond\, from the author of Me Before You and The Peacock Emporium. Alice Wright marries handsome American Bennett Van Cleve hoping to escape her stifling life in England. But small-town Kentucky quickly proves equally claustrophobic\, especially living alongside her overbearing father-in-law. So when a call goes out for a team of women to deliver books as part of Eleanor Roosevelt’s new traveling library\, Alice signs on enthusiastically. The leader\, and soon Alice’s greatest ally\, is Margery\, a smart-talking\, self-sufficient woman who’s never asked a man’s permission for anything. They will be joined by three other singular women who become known as the Horseback Librarians of Kentucky. What happens to them — and to the men they love — becomes a classic drama of loyalty\, justice\, humanity and passion. Though they face all kinds of dangers\, they’re committed to their job — bringing books to people who have never had any\, sharing the gift of learning that will change their lives. Based on a true story rooted in America’s past\, The Giver of Stars is unparalleled in its scope. At times funny\, at others heartbreaking\, this is a richly rewarding novel of women’s friendship\, of true love\, and of what happens when we reach beyond our grasp for the great beyond.– From publisher’s description.

We will send you an invitation to the Zoom Meeting along with instructions for Zoom. \nAbout The Gown:\nFrom The Washington Post: When Princess Elizabeth’s engagement to Philip Mountbatten was announced in 1947\, her wedding dress was the subject of speculation and intrigue in war-exhausted England. English designer Norman Hartnell (an inspiration for “Phantom Thread”) was given the commission\, and the gown — with a 15-foot train of tulle embroidered with “York roses . . . star flowers\, ears of wheat\, jasmine blossoms\, and smilax leaves\,” plus crystal beads and pearls — was a Botticelli-inspired work of art. It’s the work behind that art that forms the through-line of Jennifer Robson’s compelling and informative novel “The Gown.” URL:https://www.irondalelibrary.org/event2/book-club-discussion-the-gown-by-jennifer-robson/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20200826T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20200826T183000 DTSTAMP:20260823T040954 CREATED:20200824T211837Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200824T211837Z UID:10391-1598463000-1598466600@www.irondalelibrary.org SUMMARY:IPL Board Meeting DESCRIPTION:The IPL Board of Trustees will meet via Zoom. \nThis is a public meeting\, to attend email Librarian@IrondaleLibrary.org before 5:00 pm.

Enlisting the help of Aaron Levy\, an American graduate student as impatient as he is charming\, and in a race with another fast-moving team of historians\, Helen embarks on one last project: to determine the identity of the documents’ scribe\, the elusive “Aleph.”\nElectrifying and ambitious\, sweeping in scope and intimate in tone\, The Weight of Ink is a sophisticated work of historical fiction about women separated by centuries\, and the choices and sacrifices they must make in order reconcile the life of the heart and mind.\n\n\n \n \n Event Sign Up\n \n \n LinkedInThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Comments URL:https://www.irondalelibrary.org/event2/book-club-discussion-the-weight-of-ink-by-rachel-kadish/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20200806T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20200806T183000 DTSTAMP:20260823T040954 CREATED:20200720T144137Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200720T144137Z UID:10353-1596736800-1596738600@www.irondalelibrary.org SUMMARY:Piccadilly Puppets Live DESCRIPTION:Piccadilly Puppets will perform the classic story Knee-High Man live on the Irondale Public Library Facebook page.
