SUMMARY:Joel Roberts Poinsett // A Curator’s Visit
DESCRIPTION:Join Jonathan Green and Kim Cliett Long for a casual walkthrough of their expertly curated artistic reflection on the Poinsettia\, aptly named in honor of Joel Roberts Poinsett\, a Charleston-born statesman\, diplomat\, and amateur botanist who served as the first US Minister to Mexico\, and brought the namesake Christmas flower to the states. His life and the poinsettia’s journey are inseparable from maritime history. Poinsett also just happened to be a transformative President of the Charleston Library Society during the years of 1835-1836\, after being involved as a member from 1819\, and later played a significant role in the founding of the Smithsonian Museum. Thanks to the generosity of his family\, we are proud to hang his portrait by the front door – an appropriate reminder of his impact and legacy on Charleston as well as the Americas. \nRSVP required\, members only due to limited capacity.

SUMMARY:Book Tour Exclusive // Mitch Albom's Return
DESCRIPTION:RESCHEDULED FROM OCTOBER 30TH \nThere’s no denying most of us would welcome a do-over moment every once in a while. This concept is at the heart of Mitch Albom’s new book\, Twice\, which will be on national tour this Fall. Aptly named\, this will be Mitch Albom’s second visit to Charleston and the Library Society – a tradition that we hope will continue for years to come. As an internationally renowned storyteller and bestselling author\, Mitch Albom is a powerful voice\, in the written word\, but also for his personal philanthropy commitments to support children. Along with Buxton Books\, it is an honor to welcome his return to the Main Reading Room and sit in the audience for a personal and exclusive look at his next bestseller. \nIf you are unable to attend the event but would like to purchase one or more signed copies\, please visit Buxton Books here. \nAbout the Author \nMitch Albom\, a “writer with soul” (Los Angeles Times)\, is an author\, screenwriter\, playwright\, and nationally syndicated columnist. Four of his books\, including Tuesdays With Morrie\, The Five People You Meet in Heaven\, For One More Day\, and Have a Little Faith\, have been made into highly acclaimed television movies for ABC. Albom has founded nine charities in and around Detroit\, including the first ever 24-hour medical clinic for homeless children in America\, and also operates an orphanage in Port-Au-Prince\, Haiti\, which he visits every month without exception. He lives with his wife\, Janine\, in Detroit. \nAbout the Book \nWhat if you got to do everything in your life —twice? The heart of Mitch Albom’s newest novel is a stunning love story that dares to explore how our unchecked desires might mean losing what we’ve had all along. When he is eight years old\, Alfie Logan discovers the magical ability to get a second chance at everything. He can undo any moment and live it again. The one catch: he must accept the consequences of his second try—for better or worse. He grows up correcting his mistakes and saving himself from adolescent embarrassments. He even takes foolishly dangerous risks\, just to see what it’s like to come close to death\, before tapping back to safety. Eventually\, Alfie turns his gift to his love life\, studying his crushes and going back to make himself more appealing. In time\, he falls deeply in love with Gianna\, the woman he believes is the one. He seems to find contentment. But as the years pass\, Alfie’s eye begins to wander. Which is when he learns a lone caveat to his power: once he undoes a love\, that person can never fall in love with him again. Knowing if he gives into to temptation\, he will risk losing what he has with Gianna\, Alfie makes a choice that changes his life forever. The book begins many years later\, after an ailing Alfie is arrested for allegedly cheating and winning millions at a casino roulette wheel. As a curious detective interrogates him\, he slowly uncovers Alfie’s incredible story\, and its most unlikely conclusion. In Twice\, America’s favorite storyteller\, Mitch Albom\, is at the top of his powers. A love story that is enchanting\, probing\, and clairvoyant in matters of the heart\, Twice will make you think\, weep\, and overflow with love from beginning to end.

SUMMARY:Sealed with Hope: "Letters from Sweden"
DESCRIPTION:RESCHEDULED EVENT FROM SEPTEMBER 2025 \nA poignant\, true story of love\, faith\, and endurance in the aftermath of World War II\, drawn from hundreds of handwritten letters\, Letters from Sweden is a historical romance that brings to life the story of Bill—a 28-year-old Purple Heart recipient and Gettysburg seminary student—and Mary\, a determined and educated 22-year-old public health pioneer in South Carolina. Their chance meeting led to a whirlwind romance\, and an engagement sealed in 1947 on the same day Bill departed for an 18-month academic and religious study program in Sweden. Through long months of separation\, their devotion to each other was tested and strengthened by their faith\, commitment\, and the written word. With vivid historical detail and emotional depth\, Letters from Sweden is a testament to the enduring power of love across distance and time\, a WWII love story of his parents\, written by author (and Library Society Member) David Schaeffer. \nIf you are unable to attend the event but would like to purchase one or more signed copies\, please visit Buxton Books here. \nIf you purchased tickets for the event in September your tickets are valid for this event. If you are unable to attend the new event date please call (843) 723-9912. \nAbout the Book \nThe “Greatest Generation” was filled with war heroes and love stories during and shortly after World War II. Love of God\, country\, and family were the priorities of young men and women facing and surviving military service at the time. Many of their love stories were told in letters written home from overseas. Hidden in dusty boxes in attics\, or locked away in storage chests\, these treasures are occasionally found and their stories finally uncovered. This is the true story of Bill\, a twenty-eight-year-old Gettysburg seminarian and Purple Heart veteran\, who was still single\, disenchanted with women\, and unsure of his future in the ministry. Mary was a twenty-two-year-old\, highly educated\, pragmatic young woman starting a public health program from scratch in Greenville\, South Carolina. After meeting\, they quickly fell in love\, and became engaged on the same day Bill left for an eighteen-month post-graduate religious and academic study program in Sweden in January 1947. Based on hundreds of handwritten letters during and after the war\, this nonfiction historical romance explores how one couple’s love\, commitment\, faith\, and trust were sustained and grew across an ocean of separation shortly after the Second World War. \nAbout the Author \nDavid Schaeffer practiced law in Atlanta for thirty-eight years before moving to Kiawah Island with his wife Kim. He served as President of the Atlanta Bar Association and Chair of its Litigation Section and received the Atlanta Bar’s highest honor\, the Charles E. Watkins\, Jr. Award for distinguished and sustained service in 2015. At 44\, he climbed Mt. Whitney\, which launched a lifelong passion for climbing incredible peaks that has taken him all over the world and provided the content to author two books\, Five Big Mountains and the second\, Another Five Big Mountains and Treks. David has since written two other books\, Letters from Sweden\, a true love story inspired by his parents and Initiation at the Scum Pond\, his first legal thriller\, arriving in book stores this November.
