SUMMARY:Spring Symposium: The Future of Publishing with John Ingram
DESCRIPTION:CLS\, in partnership with Buxton Books\, is thrilled to announce an exclusive two-day Publishing Symposium featuring John Ingram. This lifelong learning program will dive deep into the past\, present\, and future of book publishing\, and offer a rare opportunity to engage with and learn from an industry icon whose family legacy is rivaled only by his own impressive vision for the future. \nIngram understands the past\, present\, and future of publishing as few people can. A media pioneer who not only anticipated the advent of on-demand printing\, but also created a set of innovative software and digital infrastructure solutions to support independent authors\, audiences\, and booksellers… (read more below) \nThere are two ticket options for this program: \nEVENING PROGRAM ONLY (Thursday\, March 2)  $30 // Admission to the discussion panel with John Ingram and Julian Buxton at 6pm. \nTWO-DAY SYMPOSIUM (Thursday\, March 2 & Friday\, March 3) – $130 // Admission to the discussion panel on Thursday March 2. \nPlus\, Admission to the extended session on Friday\, March 3\, from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm\, which will include group discussion\, analysis of the lecture topic\, and insights from additional publishing industry insiders — plus a boxed lunch. \nAbout the Event: \nThe Symposium begins Thursday evening with an up-close-and-personal discussion led by Julian Buxton. The co-founder of Buxton Books is not only a fellow publishing insider; he’s also a longtime friend of Ingram’s (they met as undergrads at Princeton)\, with a unique  perspective on the mechanics and motivations driving the industry today. (There’s also that Charleston connection\, courtesy of Ingram’s mother\, Martha Rivers Ingram\, who grew up here.) With such strong ties\, theirs is sure to be a candid and insightful exploration of Ingram’s career choices\, how those decisions fit into the shifting balance of new and old media\, and the lessons learned along the way. \nOn Friday\, we’ll tighten the circle a bit to continue the conversation with a more intimate group of attendees. Over the course of the morning\, we’ll examine the current state of publishing\, the supporting forces that comprise the publishing ecosystem today\, and the factors that will shape the next wave of innovation. \nWe’ll bust myths\, expose hidden truths\, and share on the ground insights from all corners of the publishing world—from editorial perspectives on the power of reviews and bestseller-list placements\, to the way that same data affects author tours and event destinations\, to the importance of independent bookstores and the experiential and distribution data they provide. \nAbout John Ingram: \nIngram understands the past\, present\, and future of publishing as few people can. A media pioneer who not only anticipated the advent of on-demand printing\, but also created a set of innovative software and digital infrastructure solutions to support independent authors\, audiences\, and booksellers\, Ingram built his family’s wholesale book distribution company into a revolutionary force that would ultimately transform the book publishing landscape. Labeled an “intrapreneur” for his ability to forge a unique identity through his family’s established empire—which\, in its impressive diversification\, offered many professional avenues beyond publishing—Ingram found his calling from within even as he brazenly blazed his own trail.

SUMMARY:Lite Lunch: Janice Nimura - The Doctors Blackwell
DESCRIPTION:The Charleston Library Society welcomes New York Times Bestseller and Pulitzer Prize Finalist to discuss her recent powerhouse biography\, The Doctors Blackwell: How Two Pioneering Sisters Brought Medicine to Women – And Women to Medicine. \nTickets for this Lite Lunch are $25 for members and $35 guest. All tickets include a boxed lunch. \nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912. \n“Deftly\, with a keen eye\, Janice P. Nimura has resurrected Elizabeth and Emily Blackwell in all their feisty\, thrilling\, trailblazing splendor.”―Stacy Schiff \nThe world recoiled at the notion of a woman doctor\, yet Elizabeth Blackwell persisted―in 1849\, she became the first woman in America to receive an MD. Her achievement made her an icon―“I am convinced that a new & nobler era is dawning\, for Medicine\,” she wrote―but her sister Emily\, eternally eclipsed\, was the more brilliant physician. Together they founded the first hospital staffed entirely by women\, in New York City. \nBoth sisters were tenacious and visionary\, but their convictions did not always align with the emergence of women’s rights―or with each other. “Doubt is disease\,” Elizabeth insisted. They prevailed against fierce resistance from the male establishment\, moving among Britain\, France\, and America during a tumultuous time of scientific discovery and civil war. This major new biography celebrates two complicated pioneers who exploded the limits of possibility. As Elizabeth predicted\, “a hundred years hence\, women will not be what they are now.” \n  \nREVIEWS \n“Enthralling…Nimura\, by digging into [the Blackwells’] deeds and their lives\, finds those discrepancies and idiosyncrasies that yield a memorable portrait. The Doctors Blackwell also opens up a sense of possibility — you don’t always have to mean well on all fronts in order to do a lot of good.” –Jennifer Szalai\, New York Times \n“[A] richly detailed and propulsive biography….Nimura doesn’t strain to fit the sisters into the narrow shape allowed to feminist pioneers\, as either virtuous role models or “badass” rebels against society. Instead\, they emerge as spiky\, complicated human beings\, who strove and stumbled toward an extraordinary achievement\, and then had to learn what to do with it.” –Joanna Scutts\, New York Times Book Review \n“The Doctors Blackwell is best on the fascinating and harrowing history of modern medicine….[Nimura] is a close and delightful observer of [the Blackwells’] world.” –The New Yorker \n“The Doctors Blackwell not only testifies to Elizabeth and Emily’s iron determination but also chronicles evolving medical practices. Nimura places the sisters within the broad intellectual context of their time\, creating an important and engaging history lesson.” –NPR \nABOUT JANICE: \nJanice P. Nimura received a Public Scholar Award from the National Endowment for the Humanities in support of her work on The Doctors Blackwell\, a New York Times bestseller and a finalist for the 2022 Pulitzer Prize in biography. Her previous book\, Daughters of the Samurai: A Journey from East to West and Back\, was a New York Times Notable book in 2015. Her essays and book reviews have appeared in the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, the Los Angeles Times\, Smithsonian\, The Rumpus\, and LitHub\, among other publications. \n“The one thing I know I’ll never be is a historian\,” she told her college guidance counselor in 1988. She thought she wanted to be a doctor\, but life intervened: she majored in English at Yale\, worked in publishing\, moved to Japan with her Tokyo-born husband\, and completed an M.A. in East Asian studies at Columbia upon their return to her native New York. She grew into an understanding that history is made of stories and fell in love with archival treasure-hunting\, especially when it led to the forgotten lives of border-crossing nineteenth-century women. Her first book grew out of her personal interest in the earliest encounters between Japan and the United States. In her latest project she circles back to her first interest in medicine\, in the context of her work in women’s history.

SUMMARY:CLS x Ibu Foundation Honor Global Artisan Leaders
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Ibu Foundation\, CLS welcomes artisan leaders from Colombia\, Haiti\, Morocco\, Nigeria\, and Pakistan for an in depth discussion on the challenges of creating beauty in situations which could hardly be called beautiful. Gang warfare\, displacement\, the silencing and repression of women\, colossal flooding\, poverty—these are some of the obstacles women around the world too often confront as they seek economic self-sufficiency through handmade arts. \nJoin us as this panel of six visionary artisans and advocates—Samina Mahmud\, Hassana Yusuf\, Wafae Safar\, Dayanne Danier\, Juan Sebastian Rivera\, and Juan Pablo Gomez—share the stories behind their own heritage clothing and crafts\, as well as insights into the power of cooperatives and collective action. To lead the conversation\, Pat Mitchell\, the editorial director of TEDWomen and an Ibu Ambassador (who has also served as President of both PBS and Sundance in the past)\, will team up with Ibu founder\, Susan Hull Walker. \nDon’t miss this rare opportunity to learn from\, be inspired by\, and support the often-unseen women of the world who not only struggle through and rise above the calamities that surround them\, but also find the will to transform trauma into treasures.  \nTickets are $10 for CLS Members\, $15 for Guests. Students are admitted free with RSVP\, pending availability. \nWant to know more about how to craft a new world in adversity? The Ibu Movement—whose mission is to expand markets for women artisans across the globe and build capacity for success through tangible economic and structural change—will honor these six visionaries during its International Women’s Day and global runway showcase at Festival Hall\, also scheduled for March 8.

SUMMARY:Shakespeare on the Steps
DESCRIPTION:On the heels of last October’s wildly successful cocktail party spotlighting some of the bard’s best lines\, we are thrilled to announce a second pop-up Shakespeare experience coming in March—and this time\, we’re taking the action outdoors! Join us on Sunday\, March 12\, as we transform our front steps into a stage for a plein air performance of Two Gentlemen of Verona.

SUMMARY:Charleston's Architectural Renaissance Man
DESCRIPTION:For six decades\, the renowned twentieth-century architect and preservationist Albert Simons helped shape the modern structural landscape of the Holy City. On March 14\, Ralph Muldrow—whose recent book on the visionary aesthete\, The Architectural Legacy of Albert Simons in the Holy City\, came out in October—will join us to share insights into Simons’ legendary life and career. \nSimons came of age during the vibrant years of the Charleston Renaissance. His influential social circle included artists\, musicians\, writers\, historians\, and preservationists\, many of whom supported the cultural revival that would transform the city. Through his architectural design and passion for preservation\, Simons helped to mold the cityscape and set a course that would both preserve the Holy City and carry it forward\, allowing it to become the thriving urban center it is today. \nSimons brought both a sense of history and place to his work bolstered by his deep roots in Charleston\, as well as a cosmopolitanism developed during his years of training at the University of Pennsylvania and travels on the European continent. The melding of those sensibilities was a perfect match for the age and made him a true Charleston Renaissance Man. While he preferred the more traditional Beaux-Arts\, Classical\, and Colonial Revival styles\, Simons had the unique ability to balance traditional and modern styles. He believed preservation in Charleston was about retaining the city’s architectural heritage\, but doing so in a way that allowed the city to grow and progress—to be a living city. Looking forward and simultaneously looking back is quintessentially Charleston and a hallmark of Simons’s life and work. \nFeaturing more than 100 color and black and white photographs and illustrations alongside compelling storytelling\, Muldrow’s fascinating book reveals these deep connections between Simons and the Charleston cityscape.    \nTickets are $10 for Library Society members and $15 for guests.\nTo purchase tickets\, please click here or call 843-723-9912. \nAbout Ralph Muldrow:\nHaving trained as an architect at the University of Virginia and at the University of Pennsylvania\, Simons’s alma mater\, Ralph Muldrow currently serves as an Associate Professor of Architecture and Historic Preservation at the College of Charleston\, where he teaches courses in design\, drawing\, preservation and architectural history. Muldrow also regularly teaches for the College in London\, Paris\, and Rome\, including lessons in sketching and watercoloring. He has shown his work in Charleston and in Italy\, and taught charcoal rendering at the Institute for Classical Architecture & Art in New York.

SUMMARY:A Storytelling House Tour with Robert Sackville-West
DESCRIPTION:We’re pleased to host Lord Robert Sackville-West\, the 14th-generation proprietor of Knole\, a fabled country house that combines a unique familial narrative with an equally enchanting literary pedigree.  \nA former archbishop’s palace located in Knole Park\, Sevenoaks\, United Kingdom\, Knole is known for its legendary “calendar house” layout\, which features 365 rooms\, 52 staircases\, 12 entrances\, and seven courtyards. Robert will walk us through everything Knole has to offer\, from the state rooms—with outstanding tapestries and the finest collection of 17th-century Royal Stuart furniture in the world—to the private apartments filled with portraits by Van Dyck\, Gainsborough\, Sir Peter Lely\, and Reynolds. He will also share stories from his time restoring the residence\, as well as tales from 400 years of family history. The end result promises to be a a vivid and transportive mental portrait of a truly iconic house.  \nDon’t miss this rare opportunity to experience one of great estates through the eyes of the person who knows it best. \nTickets are $40. \nTo purchase tickets\, please click here or call 843-723-9912. \nAbout the Author:\nRobert Sackville-West\, 7th Baron Sackville\, studied history at Oxford University and went on to work in publishing. He now chairs Knole Estates\, the property and investment company that\, in parallel with the National Trust\, runs the Sackville family’s interests at Knole. \nThe Sackvilles have inhabited the titular estate and one of Britain’s greatest houses\, for more than 400 years. In his book\, Knole: A Private View into One of Britain’s Great Houses (Rizzoli 2022)\, Sackville-West captures the beauty of the historic property alongside the stories of his ancestors who inhabited his family home. From the grave Elizabethan statesman to the good-for-nothing gadabout at the seedy court of James I\, the dashing cavalier\, the Restoration rake\, and the 3rd Duke of the ancien régime–these ancestors have been described by Vita Sackville-West (born at Knole) as “a race too prodigal\, too amorous\, too weak\, too indolent\, and too melancholy.”

SUMMARY:CLS Book Club — The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams
DESCRIPTION:If there was any leader of the Revolution\, Thomas Jefferson once asserted\, “Samuel Adams was the man.” For his part\, John Adams thought his cousin “the most sagacious politician” of all. Intrigued? Excellent! \nJoin us for the next gathering of The CLS Book Club\, during which we will discuss this very figure via our latest pick\, The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams. Written by Pulitzer Prize–winner Stacy Schiff\, this revelatory biography of arguably the most essential Founding Father centers on the inner character of the man whose influence his peers couldn’t help but acknowledge\, as well as the ideals that drove Adams to stand behind the change in thinking that produced the American Revolution. \nWith high-minded ideals and bare-knuckle tactics\, Adams led what could be called the greatest campaign of civil resistance in American history\, and Schiff returns Adams to his seat of glory\, introducing us to the shrewd\, eloquent\, and intensely disciplined man who supplied the moral backbone of the American Revolution. A singular figure at a singular moment\, Adams packaged and amplified the Boston Massacre. He helped to mastermind the Boston Tea Party. He employed every tool in an innovative arsenal to rally a town\, a colony\, and eventually a band of colonies behind him\, creating the cause that created a country. For his efforts he became the most wanted man in America: When Paul Revere rode to Lexington in 1775\, it was to warn Samuel Adams that he was about to be arrested for treason. \nIn The Revolutionary\, Schiff brings her masterful skills to Adams’s improbable life\, illuminating his transformation from aimless son of a well-off family to tireless\, beguiling radical who mobilized the colonies. Arresting\, original\, and deliriously dramatic\, this is a long-overdue chapter in the history of our nation. \nA New York Times bestseller\, The Revolutionary has received widespread acclaim from publications such as the New Yorker\, Wall Street Journal\, Boston Globe\, Los Angeles Times\, and Air Mail\, among others. In addition\, former President Barack Obama and Oprah have both listed it as one of their favorite books of 2022.  \nThis event is free\, but an RSVP is required. To register\, fill out the form at the bottom of this page.  \nTo purchase your copy of The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams from our friends at Buxton Books\, click here.

SUMMARY:Lushington: Lost & Found
DESCRIPTION:A man. A multifaith militia. A military battle. A miniature. A moment in time\, resurrected from obscurity. \nToday\, the name Richard Lushington draws little\, if any\, attention among the general public’s awareness of Charleston history. In fact\, it is unlikely that many of the men who served under Colonel Lushington’s command during the Revolutionary War\, and who lived and worked alongside him on the same stretch of King Street in the years before fighting broke out\, appear in books about that period\, either. And yet their heroic efforts at the Battle of Port Royal Sound in 1779 led to a pivotal and defining victory against the British. So why\, and how\, did they disappear into obscurity when once they had made history in real time? This is the kind of omission the South Carolina Battleground Preservation Trust (SCBPT) works hard to correct — and the mystery they tasked historian George McDaniel with unraveling. \n“Our goal is to reimagine preservation in a way that allows the story of ‘ordinary’ people to be told and their world to rise from underneath the extant buildings of today\,” McDaniel says. In the case of Lushington and his militia\, ‘ordinary’ turned out to be something extraordinary\, indeed. During this program\, McDaniel will discuss Lushington’s Quaker roots\, how he came to lead a regiment heavily comprised of Jewish volunteers\, the considerable achievements they made together\, and why something so monumental faded so far from modern memory. He’ll also retrace his steps in searching for clues\, finding answers\, and restoring the historical narrative—and how one miniature portrait of Lushington made its way back to CLS along the way. \nFree and Open to the Public. RSVP appreciated. \n  \n
