SUMMARY:Love\, Hurricanes\, and "The Last First Kiss" with Walter Bennett
DESCRIPTION:The Library Society is excited to host award-winning Southern author Walter Bennett on November 1st to honor the release of his second southern fiction\, The Last First Kiss. \nCelebrating great Southern authors is something the Library Society has always done and this event will be no different.

But the past is with them more than they know\, and they are soon pulled into a haunting search among old memories for betrayals\, mistakes\, missed chances and ultimately the hard truths of their lives. As a dangerous hurricane turns in the Atlantic and heads their way\, time runs short\, and they must choose between the tidal pull of old dreams and the future’s wide unknown. \nAbout Walter Bennett:\nWalter Bennett is a writer and former lawyer\, judge and law professor residing in Chapel Hill\, North Carolina.

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.

SUMMARY:"The Grimkes: The Legacy of Slavery in an American Family" by Kerri K. Greenidge
DESCRIPTION:The Library Society and Buxton Books are thrilled to host Kerri K. Greenidge\, Tufts University professor and author of The Grimkes: The Legacy of Slavery in an American Family. \nCome join us on November 18th at 6pm here at CLS for this contemporary perspective of a prominent South Carolinian family\, the Grimkes\, and a historical narrative that has long since been overshadowed and\, in some places\, forgotten. \nTickets are $10 for members and $15 for guests. This event is free for students by calling the number listed and showing a valid ID at check in.\nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912.\nOrder “The Grimkes” from Buxton in advance by clicking HERE.\n \nBuxton Books is offering $5 as a gift when purchasing The Grimkes at the event. \nAbout the Book:\nSarah and Angelina Grimke—“the Grimke sisters”—are revered figures in American history\, famous for rejecting their privileged lives on a plantation in South Carolina to become firebrand activists in the North. Their anti-slavery pamphlets\, among the most influential of the antebellum era\, are still read today. Yet retellings of their epic story have long obscured their Black relatives. In The Grimkes\, award-winning historian Kerri Greenidge presents a parallel narrative\, indeed a long-overdue corrective\, shifting the focus from the white abolitionist sisters to the Black Grimkes\, and deepening our understanding of the long struggle for racial and gender equality. \nRead more… \nAbout Kerri Greenidge:\nKerri K. Greenidge is Mellon Assistant Professor in the Department of Studies in Race\, Colonialism\, and Diaspora at Tufts University. She is the author of Black Radical: The Life and Times of William Monroe Trotter\, winner of the Mark Lynton History Prize. She lives in Massachusetts.

SUMMARY:Revealing the True Legal System of Jim Crow // Buxton Books + CLS present Margaret Burnham
DESCRIPTION:Please come join Buxton Books and CLS as we invite in Margaret Burnham\, civil rights lawyer\, to discuss with us her new book By Hands Now Known. \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\, click here or call 843-723-9912.\nOrder “By Hands Now Known” from Buxton Books in advance by clicking HERE.\n \nBonus! Buxton Books is offering a $5 gift to all who attend the program to go towards the purchase of Burnham’s book! \nAbout Margaret A. Burnham:\nMargaret Burnham is the founding director of the Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project at Northeastern University\, and has been a staffer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee\, a civil rights lawyer\, a defense attorney\, and a judge. A professor of law\, she was nominated by President Biden and confirmed by the US Senate to serve on the Civil Rights Cold Case Records Review Board. She lives in Boston\, Massachusetts. \nAbout the Book:\nBy Hands Now Known challenges our understanding of the Jim Crow era by exploring the relationship between formal law and background legal norms in a series of harrowing cases from 1920 to 1960. From rendition\, the legal process by which states make claims to other states for the return of their citizens\, to battles over state and federal jurisdiction and the outsize role of local sheriffs in enforcing racial hierarchy\, Burnham maps the criminal legal system in the mid-twentieth-century South\, and traces the unremitting line from slavery to the legal structures of this period\, through to today. \nDrawing on an extensive database\, collected over more than a decade and exceeding 1\,000 cases of racial violence\, she reveals the true legal system of Jim Crow\, and captures the memories of those whose stories have not yet been heard.

SUMMARY:Takénobu Music at the Library
DESCRIPTION:This intimate and listening room style concert brings together the talented Atlanta-based musical duo\, Takénobu\, to Charleston’s intellectual and cultural living room. Composed of cellist and composer Nick Ogawa\, and violinist and vocalist Kathryn Koch\, Takénobu will help turn the Library Society’s Main Reading Room into a space of positivity and relaxation through music. Celebrating their recently released album\, Always Leave a Note\, the duo will showcase their uniqueness of contemporary chamber-pop evolution while performing from their entire catalog of dreamy and dramatic instrumental pieces. \nTickets are $25 for members and $35 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. \nAbout Nick Ogawa and Kathryn Koch:\nOgawa and Koch—who share a love for music and animals—met a few years ago while working for the same dog-walking company (the only non-music job either has had in the past decade). In the one-room studio behind their house\, this talented husband and wife wrote\, produced\, engineered and played every instrument on their newest Always Leave a Note album. \nTwo years ago “was an opportunity for self-awareness\, to take a step back\, and consider what really matters most\,” Ogawa says. “But at the same time\, it was so tragic and hard to reconcile—I could see all the suffering happening. I just feel fortunate that Kathryn and I were able to throw ourselves into making music and ultimately create something hopeful out of such a [COVID] dark period.” \nOgawa started playing the cello at age 6\, writing songs in high school\, and continued through his days at Pennsylvania Liberal Arts college Haverford. After graduation\, he lived briefly in Japan and Vancouver before moving to New York to more seriously pursue music. In 2006\, at 24\, he won the Williamsburg Live Singer-Songwriter Contest\, and used the prize money to finance 2007’s forlorn and meditative album Introduction\, his first release as Takénobu. In addition to it being his middle name\, the moniker is a combination of the Japanese Kanji of his father’s and grandfather’s names. Loosely translated\, it means “iron will.” \nTo learn more about Ogawa and Koch check out these links below:\nTakenobumusic.com\nFacebook.com/takenobumusic\nBandcamp: listen.takenobumusic.com\nIG: @takenobumusic\nYoutube: youtube.com/takenobumusic ; “Got to Get By”
