World Book Night
Sign Up to be a Book Giver
deadline January 25
~ annual event ~
World Book Night is April 23rd. Sign-up to become a Book Giver now! Givers are an important aspect of World Book Night as they are the ones who personally share their love of reading with the community. Each Giver will receive 20 copies of one of the 30 sponsored books (see list here). Givers are charged with the duty of sharing the love by giving free books to people who are not avid readers or who do not have access to books. Check out World Book Night’s website and make the pledge. The deadline to sign-up to be a Giver is Januray 25th. Loganberry Books is one of the pick-up locations and will be holding a reception for Givers on the evening of April 15th, which will include special gifts for the Givers as well. We hope you can participate!

Bonné de Blas: Artists' Books

Thursday, February 21, 7 pm

~ third Thursdays ~

Book artist Bonné de Blas is a self-taught artist and the Artists’ Books editor for Kattywompus Press. The founder and former director of Arts Books Cleveland, her artists’ books are in the Special Collections of the Cleveland Public Library and galleries in Paris and Guadalajara, and has had work exhibited throughout the Americas, Europe, and Australia. Her books play with texture, shape, time, and history. A transplant from Phoenix, Arizona, where she earned an undergraduate degree in Art History, she received her JD from Case Western Reserve University School of Law despite spending most of her time in the galleries at the Cleveland Museum of Art once discovering it was just across the street from the law school. Being the daughter, granddaughter, and sister to architects is apparent in her work, as well as having fallen in love the physical book before learning how to read its contents by herself.

Classics Club
Virginia Woolf: Mrs. Dalloway
Thursday, February 28, 7 pm
~ fourth Thursdays ~

Heralded as Virginia Woolf's greatest novel, Mrs. Dalloway is a vivid portrait of a single day in a woman's life. When we meet her, Mrs. Clarissa Dalloway is preoccupied with the last-minute details of party preparation while in her mind she is something much more than a perfect society hostess. As she readies her house, she is flooded with remembrances of faraway times. And, met with the realities of the present, Clarissa reexamines the choices that brought her there, hesitantly looking ahead to the unfamiliar work of growing old.
