It's just a small story really, about among other things: a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery.... Narrated by Death, Markus Zusak's groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a young foster girl living outside of Munich in Nazi Germany. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist � books. Soon she is stealing books from Nazi book-burnings, the mayor's wife's library, wherever they are to be found. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, Liesel learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids, as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement. This is an unforgettable story about the ability of books to feed the soul.

They know chords, they know song craft, and they know how to follow their emotions. That's what you'll need to craft your song. Registration is recommended. Participants are encouraged to attend all of the 8 sessions to get the most out of the workshop, but full attendance is not required.

Workshop - Songwriting for Teens
Monday, June 24, 2013 : 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Location: Erlanger Branch, 401 Kenton Lands Road
Join us for an 8 week songwriting workshop sponsored by the Carnegie! We will begin by finding the perfect title, then creating lyrics and the structure of the song. Writing melodies and chord progressions requires basic skills on keyboard or guitar, to recognize chord names and play them. In general, songwriters aren't great musicians. They know chords, they know song craft, and they know how to follow their emotions. That's what you'll need to craft your song. Registration is recommended. Participants are encouraged to attend all of the 8 sessions to get the most out of the workshop, but full attendance is not required.

Installation art can be either temporary or permanent. Installation artworks have been constructed in exhibition spaces such as museums and galleries, as well as public and private spaces. The genre incorporates a broad range of everyday and natural materials, which are often chosen for their "evocative" qualities, as well as new media such as video, sound, performance, immersive virtual reality and the internet. Many installations are site-specific in that they are designed to exist only in the space for which they were created.

Location: Mary Ann Mongan Library, 502 Scott Boulevard, Covington
Join us for a lively discussion of "Heresy" by S. J. Parris. New members are always welcome and books may be picked up at the Reference Desk. Giordano Bruno was a monk, poet, scientist, and magician on the run from the Roman Inquisition on charges of heresy for his belief that the Earth orbits the sun and that the universe is infinite. In S. J. Parris's gripping novel, Bruno's pursuit of this rare knowledge brings him to London, where he is unexpectedly recruited by Queen Elizabeth I and is sent undercover to Oxford University on the pretext of a royal visitation. Officially Bruno is to take part in a debate on the Copernican theory of the universe; unofficially, he is to find out whatever he can about a Catholic plot to overthrow the queen. His mission is dramatically thrown off course by a series of grisly murders and a spirited and beautiful young woman. As Bruno begins to discover a pattern in these killings, he realizes that no one at Oxford is who he seems to be. Bruno must attempt to outwit a killer who appears obsessed with the boundary between truth and heresy.

Book Discussion - Telling Stories reads "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern
Tuesday, December 3, 2013 : 7:00 PM
Location: Mary Ann Mongan Library, 502 Scott Boulevard, Covington
Join us for a lively discussion of "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern. New members are always welcome and books are available at the Reference Desk. The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des R�ves, and it is only open at night. But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway�a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love�a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands.
