Branch: Miller Branch
Age group: Ages 14 - 18 (High School), Ages 19+ (Adults)
Program type: Writing
Description:
Are you a poet or writer? This is for you.
Some writers feel a pressure that to be “a good writer” they need to use elevated, poetic or flowery language. However, the language of our experiences can be the most powerful tool in our writing. In this workshop, we’ll read examples of writing that uses “the language of the experience,” as well as take part in a “translation” exercise to explore finding our unique voice.

She is the author of the 2021 Towson Prize for Literature winning poetry collection “Drowning in the Floating World” (Press 53, 2020) and children’s novels, most recently “Good Different,” a JLG Gold Standard selection (Scholastic, 2023).

In these difficult times, it can be so easy for us to drown in the relentless awful in our news cycle and world. How do we find the glimmers of beauty in so much pain?

In this workshop, Meg Eden will share tools that she has used in writing her latest poetry collection, exploring the beauty and magic that the natural object, form and personification can lend to our poems, and in turn, our spirits.

Getty Museum Series: The Monuments Men (online evening)
Date: 04/18/23Time: 7:00pm - 8:00pm
Branch: Online Branch
Age group: All Ages / Families
Program type: History & Genealogy
Description:
The Monuments Men
It’s no secret that the Nazis confiscated hundreds of thousands of works of art from Jewish families, collectors and dealers. It’s also a well known fact that the Allies were responsible for discovering and rescuing many of these precious paintings, sculptures and decorative art objects. Some passed directly through the hands of the Monuments Men as they were discovered in the salt mines of Austria, in caves, other buildings and even at Herman Goring’s summer home. These works were restituted to their owners or their family’s heirs via different means including the Allied forces, through governments, and even from museums. Some works found their way back shortly after the war, others took over 50 years to be returned to their rightful owners. Their stories are as fascinating as the objects themselves.
Docent Lee Rubinstein holds dual degrees in English and History with a minor in Art History. She has been leading students through the galleries at the Getty since the program's inception in 2012. Additionally, in 2007, Lee created the curriculum for, and now runs, a volunteer art program in underserved schools in Los Angeles.

Reading Human Rights: The Other Black Girl by Zakiya Dalila Harris
Date: 04/25/23Time: 6:30pm - 7:30pm
Branch: Miller Branch
Age group: Ages 19+ (Adults)
Program type: Race, Equity & Inclusion
Description:
Reading Human Rights is a monthly book discussion hosted by the Howard County Office of Human Rights & Equity and Howard County Library System. We read books that promote cultural awareness, diversity, equity.
“Riveting, fearless, and vividly original” (Emily St. John Mandel, New York Times bestselling author), this instant New York Times bestseller explores the tension that unfurls when two young Black women meet against the starkly white backdrop of New York City book publishing.
Twenty-six-year-old editorial assistant Nella Rogers is tired of being the only Black employee at Wagner Books. Fed up with the isolation and microaggressions, she’s thrilled when Harlem-born and bred Hazel starts working in the cubicle beside hers. They’ve only just started comparing natural hair care regimens, though, when a string of uncomfortable events elevates Hazel to Office Darling, and Nella is left in the dust.
Then the notes begin to appear on Nella’s desk: LEAVE WAGNER. NOW.
It’s hard to believe Hazel is behind these hostile messages. But as Nella starts to spiral and obsess over the sinister forces at play, she soon realizes that there’s a lot more at stake than just her career. Having joined Wagner Books to honor the legacy of Burning Heart, a novel written and edited by two Black women, she had thought that this animosity was a relic of the past. Is Nella ready to take on the fight of a new generation?
“Poignant, daring, and darkly funny, The Other Black Girl will have you stressed and exhilarated in equal measure through the very last twist” (Vulture). The perfect read for anyone who has ever felt manipulated, threatened, or overlooked in the workplace.
Zakiya Dalila Harris spent nearly three years in editorial at Knopf/Doubleday before leaving to write her debut novel The Other Black Girl. Prior to working in publishing, Zakiya received her MFA in creative writing from The New School. Her essays and book reviews have appeared in Cosmopolitan, Guernica, and The Rumpus. She lives in Brooklyn.

Divisive U.S. Politics: A Comparative Analysis
Date: 04/25/23Time: 7:00pm - 8:00pm
Branch: Central Branch
Age group: Ages 19+ (Adults)
Program type: History & Genealogy
Description:
Are our current politics more divisive than ever? Maybe not.
There have been other periods in American history when, arguably, political differences rivaled, or exceeded, our current situation.
Author Stan Haynes offers that the 1840s and 1850s were such a time. The headlines from these decades sound familiar: a president whom many believed did not hold the office legitimately, a mob attack in Washington, calls for impeachment, election fraud, and accusations of backstabbing and betrayal.
Explore whether our current times are unprecedented, or whether dysfunction in Washington is not solely a modern political phenomenon.
Stan Haynes, an attorney and author of four books, has had a lifelong interest in American political history. His two historical fiction books, And Tyler No More and And Union No More, are set in the 1840s and 1850s. Vist his website at www.stanhaynes.com.
Copies of Mr. Haynes' books will be available for purchase at the event.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER • From the infinitely inventive author of How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe comes "one of the funniest books of the year.... A delicious, ambitious Hollywood satire" (The Washington Post).
A deeply personal novel about race, pop culture, immigration, assimilation, and escaping the roles we are forced to play.
Willis Wu doesn’t perceive himself as the protagonist in his own life: he’s merely Generic Asian Man. Sometimes he gets to be Background Oriental Making a Weird Face or even Disgraced Son, but always he is relegated to a prop. Yet every day, he leaves his tiny room in a Chinatown SRO and enters the Golden Palace restaurant, where Black and White, a procedural cop show, is in perpetual production. He’s a bit player here, too, but he dreams of being Kung Fu Guy—the most respected role that anyone who looks like him can attain. Or is it?
After stumbling into the spotlight, Willis finds himself launched into a wider world than he’s ever known, discovering not only the secret history of Chinatown, but the buried legacy of his own family. Infinitely inventive and deeply personal, exploring the themes of pop culture, assimilation, and immigration—Interior Chinatown is Charles Yu’s most moving, daring, and masterful novel yet.
CHARLES YU is the author of four books, including Interior Chinatown (the winner of the 2020 National Book Award for fiction), and the novel How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe (a New York Times Notable Book and a Time magazine best book of the year). He received the National Book Foundation's 5 Under 35 Award and was nominated for two Writers Guild of America Awards for his work on the HBO series, Westworld. He has also written for shows on FX, AMC, and HBO. His fiction and nonfiction have appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Wired, among other publications. Together with TaiwaneseAmerican.org, he established the Betty L. Yu and Jin C. Yu Writing Prizes, in honor of his parents.

Author Works: Tonee Moll: You Cannot Save Here
Date: 06/17/23Time: 3:00pm - 4:00pm
Branch: Savage Branch
Age group: Ages 19+ (Adults)
Program type: Race, Equity & Inclusion
Description:
Winner of the 2022 Jean Feldman Poetry Prize from the Washington Writers' Publishing House, You Cannot Save Here is a collection of poems about how we live when each day feels like the world is ending. The poems ask what we do with the small moments that matter when so much around us—climate disaster, gun violence, pandemics, wars—makes these days feel apocalyptic. The book is a bit speculative and a bit confessional. It's queer, punk, and woven tightly with cultural allusion—from visual art to video games, pop culture to counterculture.
Tonee Moll is an award winning queer writer and educator. They hold an MFA in creative writing and publishing arts, are finishing their dissertation for a PhD in English, and are an assistant professor of English at a Maryland community college. Tonee’s poetry has received the Adele V. Holden award for creative excellence and the Bill Knott Poetry Prize.
Reading Human Rights: Untamed by Glennon Doyle
Date: 06/27/23Time: 6:30pm - 7:30pm
Branch: East Columbia Branch
Age group: Ages 19+ (Adults)
Program type: Race, Equity & Inclusion
Description:
Reading Human Rights is a monthly book discussion hosted by the Howard County Office of Human Rights & Equity and Howard County Library System. We read books that promote cultural awareness, diversity, equity.
In her most revealing and powerful memoir yet, the activist, speaker, bestselling author, and “patron saint of female empowerment” (People) explores the joy and peace we discover when we stop striving to meet others’ expectations and start trusting the voice deep within us.
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY O: The Oprah Magazine • The Washington Post • Cosmopolitan • Marie Claire • Bloomberg • Parade • “Untamed will liberate women—emotionally, spiritually, and physically. It is phenomenal.”—Elizabeth Gilbert, author of City of Girls and Eat Pray Love
This is how you find yourself.
Soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, Untamed is both an intimate memoir and a galvanizing wake-up call. It is the story of how one woman learned that a responsible mother is not one who slowly dies for her children, but one who shows them how to fully live. It is the story of navigating divorce, forming a new blended family, and discovering that the brokenness or wholeness of a family depends not on its structure but on each member’s ability to bring her full self to the table. And it is the story of how each of us can begin to trust ourselves enough to set boundaries, make peace with our bodies, honor our anger and heartbreak, and unleash our truest, wildest instincts so that we become women who can finally look at ourselves and say: There She Is.
Author, activist, founder of Together Rising, and host of the We Can Do Hard Things podcast Glennon Doyle is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Untamed, a Reese’s Book Club selection, which has sold over two million copies. She is also the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Love Warrior, an Oprah’s Book Club selection, and Carry On, Warrior. An activist and “patron saint of female empowerment” (People), Glennon hosts the We Can Do Hard Things podcast. She is the founder and president of Together Rising, an all-women-led nonprofit organization that has revolutionized grassroots philanthropy—raising over $30 million for women, families, and children in crisis. Glennon lives in Florida with her wife and three children.

Understanding Critical Race Theory
Date: 06/27/23Time: 7:00pm - 8:30pm
Branch: Miller Branch
Age group: Ages 19+ (Adults)
Program type: Race, Equity & Inclusion
Description:
This past year, everyone has begun talking about Critical Race Theory, a set of premises developed by legal scholars decades ago to interpret America’s institutions in the context of race and civil rights.
In recent months, legislators in many states have rushed to pass laws to ban the teaching of CRT from K-12 classroom across the country. Yet what exactly is CRT? It can be hard to know. There’s no manifesto or mission statement. That’s made Critical Race Theory a bit of a moving target.
This talk has three quite different goals. The first objective is to locate the origins of CRT, establish its core premises, describe the recent controversy, and interrogate the stakes of it all. The second objective is to show CRT in action—to narrate the histories of voting rights and of crime and punishment in the United States through the lens of Critical Race Theory. The third is to introduce participants to a list of practices that CRT scholars believe all of us can adopt to mitigate the worst legacies of slavery in our current world.
