SUMMARY:Storytelling Series // 'Delivered Under Fire'
DESCRIPTION:Candice Shy Hooper shares her newest book Delivered Under Fire. Follow the General Grant’s Post Master Absalom Markland during the American Civil War as he developed the military mail service still in use today. Markland’s innovative system facilitated the exchange of millions of priceless letters between soldiers on the front lines and their families at home. \n\nTickets:  Members – $10 // General Admission – $15 \nTo purchase\, click here or call 843.723.9912 during Box Office Hours (11:00AM–4:00PM\, Monday through Thursday). \nAbout the Book:\nDelivered Under Fire: Absalom Markland and Freedom’s Mail tells the story of the resourceful and courageous Kentuckian who created the military mail service during the Civil War that delivered millions of priceless letters for soldiers and their families and bolstered morale throughout the North. As Special Agent of the US Post Office Department\, Markland visited with Lincoln once a month during the war.  A childhood friend of Ulysses Grant\, Markland served with him throughout the war\, and during his Presidency played a crucial role in Grant’s battle against the Ku Klux Klan. Nationally famous during his life\, this American hero is all but forgotten today.  Markland\, who briefly served as Charleston’s Postmaster\, was not the only Absalom involved in the mail service during the Civil War. Candice’s book also tells the story of Absalom Grimes\, the Confederacy’s most famous “mail runner\,” or smuggler\, who was twice imprisoned as a spy and twice escaped.  \n\nAbout the Author:\nAfter a career in communication\, politics\, and the law in Washington DC\, Candice Shy Hooper’s interest in military history led her to George Washington University in 2006 to get a masters degree. She is the author of Lincoln’s Generals’ Wives: Four Women Who Influenced the Civil War for Better and for Worse\, which won three national awards. Her historical work has appeared in The New York Times and the Journal for Military History\, and to Candice’s amazement\, her poems have appeared in prominent literary journals and one even won a prize.

SUMMARY:Story Time In The Rabbit Hole - Cindy Andrews and her debut book Engel
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special appearance during our beloved weekly Story Time in the Rabbit Hole!  Local author and illustrator Cindy Andrews will be our guest to share her latest book\, Engel\, that releases this week\, just in time for the holidays. \nDuring this hour long\, kid-friendly program\, children and their parents/caregivers will hear excerpts and highlights from the new book along with a hand-folded paper holiday craft!  Following the program\, attendees will be invited upstairs to the Charleston Library Society Holiday Bazaar where Cindy will be signing and personalizing individual copies for sale through Buxton Books. \n About Engel:  \nIt’s 1882 in the Holy City of Charleston\, where a beloved handmade Christmas angel named Engel has been safely stored year after year in the attic of the prominent Witte family. When a modern factory-made angel with feathered wings assumes her role at the top of the tree\, Engel fears irrelevance and makes a wish for real wings. Through an ironic twist of fate\, the little ornament is unwittingly discarded into Charleston harbor. During her year-long journey home\, Engel encounters a delightful and sometimes terrifying cast of Lowcountry wildlife creatures inspired by local historical figures. Mentored by the likes of Francis Marion\, Eliza Pinckney\, and Quash Stevens\, the little angel will learn to survive “according to nature” by identifying her strengths and eliminating her fears with empathy and courage. But it will take trying to save a nest of baby sea turtles during a hurricane for Engel to find her higher purpose and reveal the secret of the wings. \nAbout the author: \nCindy Andrews has lived in Charleston for over thirty years. She recently retired from Ashley Hall\, where she taught visual art\, art history\, European history\, and graphic design. As a lover of all things historical\, Cindy also loves to cook\, kayak the local waterways\, golf at the muni\, and visit her grandchildren in Mexico City. \nRSVP to this free event is required\, please fill out the form below to do so.

SUMMARY:Charleston Library Society Book Club ~ David Grann's "The Wager"
DESCRIPTION:CLS Book Club is FREE\, in-person\, and open to the public—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 via the form below.  \nOffered a few times a year\, the CLS Book Club seeks to explore a wide range of topics\, authors and diversity within its book selections. Under this objective\, the Book Club also offers space for conversation\, perspectives and discourse. \nAbout the book:\nThe Wager is a grand tale of human behavior at the extremes told by one of our greatest nonfiction writers. Grann’s recreation of the hidden world on a British warship rivals the work of Patrick O’Brian\, his portrayal of the castaways’ desperate straits stands up to the classics of survival writing such as The Endurance\, and his account of the court martial has the savvy of a Scott Turow thriller. As always with Grann’s work\, the incredible twists of the narrative hold the reader spellbound. \nFor a copy of the book\, check out our catalog here\, or shop local at Buxton Books.

SUMMARY:Book Tour Exclusive // Jill McCorkle's Latest: Old Crimes
DESCRIPTION:Just days after pub-week\, Charleston Library Society and Buxton Books are pleased to welcome New York Times bestselling author Jill McCorkle to Charleston. \nOur secrets are something we hold near to our hearts at all times\, whether big or small. Her new release\, Old Crimes\, explores the stories of different characters that treasure their secrets\, and have to deal with the consequences. McCorkle weaves the tales of multiple characters\, and allows the reader to feel at home in the chaos secrets can cause. \nSecure your seat for this exclusive opportunity to share an audience with this bestselling author.  \nTickets*: PURCHASE HERE \n$35 – Members or $40 – General Admission // 1 Ticket and 1 signed copy of Old Crimes \n$45 – Limited Option // 2 Tickets and 1 signed copy of Old Crimes* \n*There will be a limited number of two for one tickets available\, these tickets include two attendees and one signed copy of Old Crimes.  \nNOTE: If you are unable to attend the program\, and wish to secure a signed copy (or copies!)\, pre-order through the following link: Old Crimes or call Buxton Books at (843) 723-1670. \nABOUT THE BOOK \nOld Crimes delves into the lives of characters who hold their secrets and misdeeds close\, even as the past continues to reverberate over time and across generations. And despite the characters’ yearnings for connection\, they can’t seem to tell the whole truth. In “Low Tones\,” a woman uses her hearing impairment as a way to guard herself from her husband’s commentary. In “Lineman\,” a telephone lineman strains to connect to his family even as he feels pushed aside in a digital world. In “Confessional\,” a young couple buys a confessional booth for fun\, only to discover the cost of honesty. \nProfoundly moving and unforgettable\, for fans of Alice Munro\, Elizabeth Strout\, and Lily King\, the stories in Old Crimes reveal why McCorkle has long been considered a master of the form\, probing lives full of great intensity\, longing and affection\, and deep regret. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nJill McCorkle has the distinction of having published her first two novels on the same day in 1984.  Of these novels\, the New York Times Book Review said: “one suspects the author of The Cheer Leader is a born novelist.  With July 7th\, she is also a full grown one.” Since then she has published five other novels—most recently\, Hieroglyphics—and four collections of short stories. Five of her books have been named New York Times notable books and four of her stories have appeared in Best American Short Stories.  McCorkle has received the New England Booksellers Award\, the John Dos Passos Prize for Excellence in Literature\, the North Carolina Award for Literature and the Thomas Wolfe Prize; she was recently inducted into the NC Literary Hall of Fame. McCorkle has taught at Harvard\, Brandeis\, and NC State where she remains affiliated with the MFA Program in creative writing and she is core faculty in the Bennington Writing Seminars.

SUMMARY:Life Long Learning: Popular Music of the Vietnam Era // 8 week Course
DESCRIPTION:With great anticipation\, Life-long Learning returns to the Library Society in a daytime format.  Join Dana Beach and Teddy Gilbreth for an eight-part series exploring the music that helped shape the anti-war movement and established the foundations of rock and roll during the 60’s through video and audio recordings of seminal musicians of the era\, along with their historical influences.\n \nThe series will begin with a historical reflection on the roots of American popular music – highlighting European contributions to America’s emerging musical culture and illuminating the African origins of rock and roll – spirituals\, gospel\, and the blues. The series will examine the significance of early songbooks and illuminate the importance of itinerant song collectors.\n \nThe second part of the series will focus on the convergence of blues and folk into early manifestations of rock and roll. It will highlight the musicians and songs that emerged from the social turmoil surrounding America’s involvement in the war and will explore the influence music had in mobilizing and organizing anti-war\, and to a considerably lesser extent\, pro-war efforts. The discussion will include the historical\, political\, social and musical circumstances in which the war was executed.  \nDATES: Jan 22nd\, 29th – Feb 5th\, 12th\, 26th – Mar 4th\, 11th\, 18th. \nTickets:  Sold only as an 8-week course (Seating is limited to 30) \nMembers – $225 // General Admission – $275 \nTo purchase\, click here or call 843.723.9912 during Box Office Hours (11:00AM–4:00PM\, Monday through Thursday). \n

L. Walker International Relations & Diplomacy Series: \nDuring the summer of 2021\, the Library Society received a very generous gift to establish a program series honoring a South Carolina scholar and diplomat\, Richard L. (“Dixie”) Walker\, who also happens to be the father of Anne W. Cleveland\, a long-standing and transformative Executive Director at the Charleston Library Society.  In 1981\, Walker was chosen by President Ronald Reagan to serve as his ambassador to the Republic of Korea. After unanimous confirmation by the U. S. Senate\, he served with distinction at that post until 1986\, longer than any other American ambassador. Walker was on the faculty of Yale University when he was recruited by Governor Donald Russell to organize a new program in international studies at the University of South Carolina (USC) that he headed until 1972. In 1961\, he founded the Institute of International Studies and headed it until 1981\, as it grew into a preeminent national and international center of research\, conferences\, consultation and publications. In 1996\, the Institute was renamed the Richard L. Walker Institute in his honor. The lecture series will cover a multitude of topics\, and we hope that the viewers gain fresh perspectives on the challenges facing the intersecting spheres of international relations & diplomacy.
