SUMMARY:CLS Book Club // Burning the Books
DESCRIPTION:Join us\, as we have invited Dr. Elisa Jones\, Assistant Professor of the College of Charleston\, to lead our Book Club conversation of Richard Ovenden’s\, Burning the Books: A History of the Deliberate Destruction of Knowledge. \n\nGiven Dr. Jones’ class\, Information Revolutions: The Radical History of Reading and Knowledge\, which mirrors Ovenden’s message in his pages – we welcome her to discuss the importance of freedom of speech\, the importance of educational access through libraries\, and the epitome of what societal dangers lurk when books and knowledge get stuck in the crosshairs. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe CLS Book Club has become a space for conversations about wide ranging topics\, but such a book\, so directly connected to a library’s mission\, has never been chosen. We hope that this book will provide an opportunity to discuss banned books\, freedom of speech\, educational access\, historical importance of librarianship\, and the power that libraries hold in the 21st century and beyond.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCLS Book Club is FREE\, in-person\, open to the public – no matter whether you’ve finished the book\, are thinking about starting it\, or couldn’t make it past the half-way point. All that is required is an RSVP.\nTo RSVP\, fill out the form at the bottom of the page. \nAbout the Book:\nLibraries have been attacked since ancient times but have been especially threatened in the modern era\, through war as well as willful neglect. Burning the Books describes the deliberate destruction of the knowledge safeguarded in libraries from Alexandria to Sarajevo\, from smashed Assyrian tablets to the torching of the Library of Congress. The director of the world-famous Bodleian Libraries\, Richard Ovenden\, captures the political\, religious\, and cultural motivations behind these acts. He also shines a light on the librarians and archivists preserving history and memory\, often risking their lives in the process. \nMore than simply repositories for knowledge\, libraries support the rule of law and inspire and inform citizens. Ovenden reminds us of their social and political importance\, challenging us to protect and support these essential institutions. \nAbout the Author:\nRichard Ovenden is Director of the Bodleian Libraries at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Balliol College. He was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 2019\, is a member of the American Philosophical Society\, and serves as Treasurer of the Consortium of European Research Libraries and President of the Digital Preservation Coalition. \nAbout Elisa Jones:\nElisa J. Jones earned her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. She specializes in French history and the history of rights\, with related research interests in the history of the book and censorship. Elisa’s book project The Right to Be Seen and Heard: Liberty of Conscience and the Practice of Citizenship in Early Modern France is a counter-intuitive history of liberty of conscience during the civil and religious wars in late sixteenth and early seventeenth century France known as the Wars of Religion. The unanswered questions this project addresses about how liberty of conscience functioned are nested within the current – and increasingly urgent – scholarly reassessment of the origin and nature of universal human rights. In addition to her two articles in progress\, Elisa is planning a new research project that approaches the relationship between religion\, liberties\, and civil authority through the conflicts over marriage and rape during the Wars of Religion. \nThrough her previous role as the Early Career Postdoctoral Fellow in the Center for Renaissance Studies at the Newberry Library\, Elisa is involved with several ongoing digital history and pedagogy projects. She is currently coordinating the development of a new digital resource for the Newberry’s vast digitized early modern French pamphlet collection\, as well as editing and developing content for the Newberry’s Digital Collections for the Classroom. Elisa has worked extensively in libraries and archives\, and has taken graduate courses at the School of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

SUMMARY:"Dangerous Ground: Squatters\, Statesmen\, and the Antebellum Rupture of American Democracy"
DESCRIPTION:Come join historian\, Dr. John Suval as he reveals how white squatters in the American West transformed from remote frontier scourges to central actors in the crisis engulfing the United States in the lead-up to the Civil War. In his new book\, Dangerous Ground: Squatters\, Statesmen\, and the Antebellum Rupture of American Democracy\, Suval shares the surprising story of squatters’ outsized (and overlooked) role in the conquests of Manifest Destiny and the sectional conflict over slavery\, casting urgent new light on the perennial promises and vulnerabilities of American democracy. \nThe squatter – defined by Noah Webster as “one who settles on new land without a title”- had long been a fixture of America’s frontier past. In the antebellum period\, white squatters propelled the Jacksonian Democratic Party to dominance and the United States to the shores of the Pacific. In a bold reframing of the era’s political history\, John Suval explores how Squatter Democracy transformed the partisan landscape and the map of North America\, hastening clashes that ultimately sundered the nation. \nTickets are $10 for members and $15 for guests. Free for students by calling the number listed below and showing a valid ID at check in.\nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912.\nOrder “Dangerous Ground: Squatters\, Statesmen\, and the Antebellum Rupture of American Democracy” from Buxton Books in advance by clicking HERE. \nAbout the Book:\nWith one eye on Washington and the other on flashpoints across the West\, Dangerous Ground tracks squatters from the Mississippi Valley and cotton lands of Texas\, to Oregon\, Gold Rush-era California\, and finally\, Bleeding Kansas. The sweeping narrative reveals how claiming western domains became stubbornly intertwined with partisan politics and fights over the extension of slavery. While previous generations of statesmen had maligned and sought to contain illegal settlers\, Democrats celebrated squatters as pioneering yeomen and encouraged their land grabs through preemption laws\, Indian removal\, and hawkish diplomacy. As America expanded\, the party’s power grew. The US-Mexican War led many to ask whether these squatters were genuine yeomen or forerunners of slavery expansion. Some northern Democrats bolted to form the Free Soil Party\, while southerners denounced any hindrance to slavery’s spread. Faced with a fracturing party\, Democratic leaders allowed territorial inhabitants to determine whether new lands would be slave or free\, leading to a destabilizing transfer of authority from Congress to frontier settlers. Squatters thus morphed from agents of Manifest Destiny into foot soldiers in battles that ruptured the party and the country. \nDeeply researched and vividly written\, Dangerous Ground illuminates the overlooked role of squatters in the United States’ growth into a continent-spanning juggernaut and in the onset of the Civil War\, casting crucial light on the promises and vulnerabilities of American democracy. \n“This is an uncommonly good and sweeping study of the vast\, destabilizing roles white ‘squatters’ on western lands played in American political culture in the decades before the Civil War. Using a striking array of sources\, Suval demonstrates how figures once commonly associated with illicit land grabs became a central force in Jacksonian politics and\, eventually\, key players in the clashes over slavery and its expansion. Ranging from the Mississippi Valley in the 1830s to Gold Rush California and the contested prairies of Bleeding Kansas\, the author shows how the figure of the squatter was transformed from a frontier scourge into the main actors of a fraying nation’s most serious crisis.” — Jonathan Earle\, author of Jacksonian Antislavery and the Politics of Free Soil\, 1824-1854 \nAbout John Suval:\nJohn Suval is a historian of the nineteenth-century United States specializing in antebellum political culture\, the American West\, public lands\, and the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin and was a Research Assistant Professor of History at the University of Tennessee\, serving as an editor of The Papers of Andrew Jackson. He recently moved to West Virginia where he is at work on a book examining inflection points in the history of American democracy.

SUMMARY:Lite Lunch: Sustainable Packaging for A New Earth with Wes Carter
DESCRIPTION:When a handful of pro surfers\, brand managers\, and packaging experts struck up a conversation about the plastic pollution crisis plaguing our oceans\, lakes\, and rivers\, they ended up on a mission to transform the entire packaging industry. \nCome join us for a Lite Lunch about A New Earth Project on October 26th\, as we deep dive initiative to address the problems of single-use plastics in supply chain industries while finding and creating solutions that can rid oceans\, lakes\, rivers\, and other bodies of water of plastic pollutants. This lunch and presentation\, with Wes Carter\, President of Atlantic Packaging – one of the largest privately held packaging companies in North America – will show us how companies\, big and small\, can be part of the solution through facilitation and advocacy. \nTickets for this event are $25 for members and $35 for CLS guests and will include a boxed lunch. Free for students by calling the number listed below and showing a valid ID at check in (please note: boxed lunch not included with free admittance).\nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912. \nAbout A New Earth Project:\nAs New Earth Project started as a conversation between surfers on the North Shore of Oahu and has grown into a robust movement to raise awareness of the scale of plastic pollution in waterways. The initiative brings together the voices of ocean and water advocacy groups with organizations in the supply chain equipped to bring solutions to the table to remediate the problems that exist today. With a team built by founder Wes Carter\, president of Atlantic Packaging\, one of the largest privately held packaging companies in North America\, the initiative is supported by veterans from the surf\, outdoor\, film\, and packaging industries. \nAbout Wes Carter:\nAs the president of Atlantic Packaging\, Wes realized that the packaging supply chain had a blind spot when it came to acknowledging the problematic components of the products they were selling. He realized that what we needed was an awakening to the fact that the packaging supply chain is a part of the problem. \nWes is the third generation leader of Atlantic Packaging – the largest\, privately-held\, and most technical resource in packaging in North America. Atlantic specializes in optimizing packaging through technology and comprehensive programs to drive sustainable value. The company origin traces back to his grandfather. \nAs a life long surfer\, traveler\, and outdoorsman\, Wes’ link with the global surfing community helps connect the pieces between the ambassadors of the ocean and the leaders in the packaging supply chain who can enact this chance. He launched A New Earth Project in January of 2020 to be the inspiration driving this movement into the future. Today\, Wes is the driving force behind the company’s sustainability initiative and its commitment to making real and lasting change.

SUMMARY:The Moth Founder and Best Selling Author\, George Dawes Green\, comes to CLS
DESCRIPTION:Join the Charleston Library Society as we host award-winning American novelist and Founder of the storytelling organization\, The Moth\, George Dawes Green\, and celebrate his recent best-seller\, The Kingdoms of Savannah. Green’s writing style in his new southern gothic\, chilling novel\, will thrill audiences during the most eerie time of the year. \nTickets for this event are $10 for members and $15 for CLS guests. Free for students by calling the number listed below and showing a valid ID at check in.\nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912.\nOrder “The Kingdoms of Savannah” from Buxton Books in advance by clicking HERE. \n\nAbout the Book:\nThis haunting literary thriller set in Savannah\, Ga.\, from Edgar winner Green (Ravens) opens with crimes against two members of the city’s sizable homeless community—the stabbing murder of Luke Kitchens\, a genial white kid in his early 20s\, and the apparent abduction of Luke’s drinking buddy\, Stony\, a 43-year-old Black woman—a constituency not generally high among police priorities. But that changes with pressure from Luke and Stony’s friends Jaq Walker\, a fearless Black aspiring documentarian\, and her uncle by marriage\, Ransom\, disgraced scion of the powerful white Musgrove clan. And then most crucially of all\, formidable family matriarch Morgana Musgrove\, the operator of a detective agency left to her by her late husband\, gets involved after receiving a suspiciously large retainer to investigate. As the uneasy allies work their respective contacts in an increasingly desperate effort to save Stony\, as well as to figure out who wanted to make her disappear and why\, they get unmistakable warnings to back off\, including a second murder and a suspicious “suicide.” Deeply rooted in Savannah’s at times horrific history\, yet looking hopefully toward the future\, this provocative page-turner is sure to enthrall a broad spectrum of readers. Green is writing at the top of his game. Agent: Molly Friedrich\, Friedrich Agency. (July) \nAbout George Dawes Green:\nGeorge Dawes Green\, founder of The Moth and Unchained\, is an internationally celebrated author. His first novel\, The Caveman’s Valentine\, won the Edgar Award and became a motion picture starring Samuel L. Jackson. The Juror was an international bestseller in more than twenty languages and was the basis for the movie starring Demi Moore and Alec Baldwin. Ravens was chosen as one of the best books of 2009 by the Los Angeles Times\, the Wall Street Journal\, the Daily Mail of London\, and many other publications. He lives in Savannah\, Georgia.

SUMMARY:Mission: JOY  //  Documentary Screening with Producer + Co-Director\, Peggy Callahan
DESCRIPTION:Come join us at the Charleston Library Society on November 2nd at 6pm for one remarkably shot film with a remarkably powerful message! Peggy Callahan\, Producer & Co-Director\, will be here to share the story behind Mission: JOY – Finding Happiness in Troubled Times and all the inner goodness that spun out of these 90 mins on screen. \nThe boldness of this title is not an overstatement. Joy is the subject and this is a mission. It is not so much taught\, as revealed by example in the lives of the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet and South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu\, two of our most influential\, controversial and beloved contemporary spiritual leaders who happen to have a phenomenally close friendship. The differences in background and their paths to the present could hardly be more disparate and the story could hardly be more compelling. Based on The Book of Joy published by Doug Abrams about the intertwining lives of these two men and the concept of happiness and joy which they both wholeheartedly and unequivocally espouse. \nTickets are $10 for CLS members and $15 for guests. Free for students by calling the number listed below and showing a valid ID at check in.\nTo purchase tickets\, please click here or call 843-723-9912. \nAbout the film:\nAcademy Award-winning director Louie Psihoyos teams up with co-director Peggy Callahan on MISSION: JOY – FINDING HAPPINESS IN TROUBLED TIMES\, a documentary with unprecedented access to the unlikely friendship of two international icons who transcend religion: His Holiness the Dalai Lama & Archbishop Tutu. In their final joint mission\, these self-described mischievous brothers give a master class in how to create joy in a world that was never easy for them. They offer neuroscience-backed wisdom to help each of us live with more joy\, despite circumstances. \nInspired by New York Times bestseller The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World\, the film showcases the exchange between these two Nobel Peace Prize winners that led to that book. Consisting largely of never-before-seen footage shot over 5 days at the Dalai Lama’s residence in Dharamsala\, the film invites viewers to join these luminaries behind the scenes as they recount stories from their lives\, each having lived through periods of incredible difficulty and strife. With genuine affection\, mutual respect and a healthy dose of teasing\, these unlikely friends impart lessons gleaned from lived experience\, ancient traditions\, and the latest cutting-edge science regarding how to live with joy in the face of all of life’s challenges from the extraordinary to the mundane. MISSION: JOY is an antidote for the times. \n\nAbout Peggy Callahan:\nPeggy Callahan is an anti-slavery activist\, filmmaker and producer who has spent nearly 20 years fighting modern-day slavery and decades producing films on poverty\, the foster care system\, the death penalty\, racism\, homelessness and slavery. Callahan is the co-director of the feature film Mission: Joy — Finding Happiness in Troubled Times (Mountainfilm 2022).

SUMMARY:"Shy": Inside a Musical Theatre Dynasty with Adam Guettel - son of Broadway Royalty\, Mary Rogers
DESCRIPTION:“Both a joyful chronicle of a life well lived and a box-seat view on some of the best\, brightest\, and most idiosyncratic creative minds of the 20th century.” —Leah Greenblatt\, Entertainment Weekly \nJoin the Charleston Library Society to welcome the Tony award-winning composer and lyricist from one of the most prolific musical theatre dynasties of the 20th century\, Adam Guettel. As the grandson of Richards Rodgers and son of Mary Rodgers\, Guettel will tell the story of his powerhouse grandfather and inspirationally larger than life mother. The intimate stories and memories are set through the context established in his late mother’s memoir\, Shy: The Alarmingly Outspoken Memoirs of Mary Rodgers\, co-written by Jesse Green\, the chief theater critic of The New York Times. \nOur Executive Director\, and music enthusiast\, Anne Cleveland\, will join Guettel in conversation as we delve into Shy\, musical theatre\, show business\, and more. Guettel’s carrying of the family’s musical theatre torch and storytelling will surely delight anyone with appreciation for this American family with legacies larger than any one person. \nTickets are $10 for members and $15 for guests. Free for students by calling the number listed below and showing a valid ID at check in.\nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912.\nOrder “Shy: The Alarmingly Outspoken Memoirs of Mary Rodgers” from Buxton Books in advance by clicking HERE. \nAbout the Book:\nThe memoirs of Mary Rodgers—writer\, composer\, Broadway royalty\, and “a woman who tried everything.” \n“What am I\, bologna?” Mary Rodgers (1931–2014) often said. She was referring to being stuck in the middle of a talent sandwich: the daughter of one composer and the mother of another. And not just any composers. Her father was Richard Rodgers\, perhaps the greatest American melodist; her son\, Adam Guettel\, a worthy successor. What that leaves out is Mary herself\, also a composer\, whose musical Once Upon a Mattress remains one of the rare revivable Broadway hits written by a woman. \nShy is the story of how it all happened: how Mary grew from an angry child\, constrained by privilege and a parent’s overwhelming gift\, to become not just a theater figure in her own right but also a renowned author of books for young readers (including the classic Freaky Friday) and\, in a final grand turn\, a doyenne of philanthropy and the chairman of the Juilliard School. \nBut in telling these stories—with copious annotations\, contradictions\, and interruptions from Jesse Green\, the chief theater critic of The New York Times—Shy also tells another\, about a woman liberating herself from disapproving parents and pervasive sexism to find art and romance on her own terms. Whether writing for Judy Holliday or Rin Tin Tin\, dating Hal Prince or falling for Stephen Sondheim over a game of chess at thirteen\, Rodgers grabbed every chance possible—and then some. \nBoth an eyewitness report from the golden age of American musical theater and a tale of a woman striving for a meaningful life\, Shy is\, above all\, a chance to sit at the feet of the kind of woman they don’t make anymore—and never did. They make themselves. \n“I’ve never read [a book about Broadway] more entertaining (and more revealing) than Mary Rodgers’s Shy. Her voice careens between intimate\, sardonic\, confessional\, comic. The book is pure pleasure — except when it’s jaw-droppingly shocking.” —Daniel Okrent\, The New York Times Book Review \nAbout Mary Rodgers:\nMary Rodgers (1931–2014) was an accomplished composer\, author\, and screenwriter. She was the author of the novel Freaky Friday and its 1976 screenplay adaptation\, and of several other novels. Rodgers also wrote the music for Once Upon a Mattress\, which was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Musical. She lived in New York City until her passing. \nAbout Adam Guettel:\nAdam Guettel is a composer/lyricist. Theatre includes The Light in the Piazza (2005; Tony Awards for Best Original Score and best orchestrations; Grammy Award nomination for Best Musical Theater Album; cast album on Nonesuch Records)\, Floyd Collins (1996 at Playwrights Horizons; Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical\, Obie Award for Best Music; cast album on Nonesuch Records)\, and Saturn Returns (1998 at The Public Theater; recorded by Nonesuch Records as Myths and Hymns). Other awards include the Stephen Sondheim Award (1990)\, the ASCAP New Horizons Award (1997)\, and the American Composers Orchestra Award (2005). He received and honorary doctorate from Lehman College in 2007 and was made a member of the Royal Academy of Music in 2019. \nHis latest musical\, Millions\, is being developed by Sonia Friedman  Productions in the U.K.
