"My hand does the work and I don't have to think; in fact, were I to think, it would stop the flow. It's like a dam in the brain that bursts." -- Edna O'Brien (1932-)

SUNDAY WITH THE FRIENDS: A Salute to Duke Ellington

A Cleveland sensation, Mojo: The Generations Big Band, pays tribute to the greatest bandleader of them all. How many different kinds of songs did he write? How many different kinds of people did he entertain? It will take a stage full of jazz pros just to scratch the surface.
2:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

CLEVELAND’S GOLDEN AGE OF PRINT: Front Page Girl

With memories as sharp as a stiff Lake Erie breeze, the frontline witnesses of Cleveland history reflect on the things they did to get the story. Featuring interviews with legendary reporter Doris O’Donnell, the author of Front Page Girl, this series of short documentaries chronicles a bygone era with ink-stained anecdotes from O’Donnell’s friends, colleagues and collaborators. Originally produced by Storytellers Media Group in conjunction with the Cleveland Police Historical Society & Museum, as part of the Emmy Award winning PBS series, Doris O’Donnell’s Cleveland, these episodes are now available on DVD and will be available for sale at each screening.
Straight from a three martini lunch to life behind the iron curtain, Doris O’Donnell broke new ground where few Western reporters ever dared tread.
7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

STAFF PICKS

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle By David Wroblewski
In this achingly beautiful story, young Edgar Sawtelle leads an idyllic life in Wisconsin with his parents, Gar and Trudy, breeding and training exceptional dogs that are highly in demand. Though mute from birth, Edgar enjoys an almost symbiotic bond with the dogs under his charge. When Edgar’s father dies suddenly and his Uncle Claude begins insinuating himself more and more into Edgar’s and his mother’s lives, the boy’s world is changed forever. In a plot that mirrors Hamlet, Edgar soon finds himself pitted against his uncle in a desperate fight for his and his dogs’ survival. This first novel by Wroblewski has been translated into over 25 languages and was selected as a Best Book of the Year by numerous publications in 2008

The Sisters Grimm, Book One: The Fairytale Detectives By Michael Buckley
This book paints a picture of a world where humans and fairy-tale creatures live side-by-side in rural New York. Two orphan sisters, Sabrina and Daphne Grimm have been brought to live in Ferryport with a grandmother whom they thought was dead. Heartbroken and wary, the girls are immediately swept up in a mystery that includes giants, pixies, fairies, and witches.
