Book Synopsis Love in the Library by : Maggie Tokuda-Hall
Download or read book Love in the Library written by Maggie Tokuda-Hall and published by Candlewick Press. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in an incarceration camp where the United States cruelly detained Japanese Americans during WWII and based on true events, this moving love story finds hope in heartbreak. To fall in love is already a gift. But to fall in love in a place like Minidoka, a place built to make people feel like they weren’t human—that was miraculous. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Tama is sent to live in a War Relocation Center in the desert. All Japanese Americans from the West Coast—elderly people, children, babies—now live in prison camps like Minodoka. To be who she is has become a crime, it seems, and Tama doesn’t know when or if she will ever leave. Trying not to think of the life she once had, she works in the camp’s tiny library, taking solace in pages bursting with color and light, love and fairness. And she isn’t the only one. George waits each morning by the door, his arms piled with books checked out the day before. As their friendship grows, Tama wonders: Can anyone possibly read so much? Is she the reason George comes to the library every day? Maggie Tokuda-Hall’s beautifully illustrated, elegant love story features a photo of the real Tama and George—the author’s grandparents—along with an afterword and other back matter for readers to learn more about a time in our history that continues to resonate.
Download or read book The Library Book written by Susan Orlean and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Susan Orlean’s bestseller and New York Times Notable Book is “a sheer delight…as rich in insight and as varied as the treasures contained on the shelves in any local library” (USA TODAY)—a dazzling love letter to a beloved institution and an investigation into one of its greatest mysteries. “Everybody who loves books should check out The Library Book” (The Washington Post). On the morning of April 28, 1986, a fire alarm sounded in the Los Angeles Public Library. The fire was disastrous: it reached two thousand degrees and burned for more than seven hours. By the time it was extinguished, it had consumed four hundred thousand books and damaged seven hundred thousand more. Investigators descended on the scene, but more than thirty years later, the mystery remains: Did someone purposefully set fire to the library—and if so, who? Weaving her lifelong love of books and reading into an investigation of the fire, award-winning New Yorker reporter and New York Times bestselling author Susan Orlean delivers a “delightful…reflection on the past, present, and future of libraries in America” (New York magazine) that manages to tell the broader story of libraries and librarians in a way that has never been done before. In the “exquisitely written, consistently entertaining” (The New York Times) The Library Book, Orlean chronicles the LAPL fire and its aftermath to showcase the larger, crucial role that libraries play in our lives; delves into the evolution of libraries; brings each department of the library to vivid life; studies arson and attempts to burn a copy of a book herself; and reexamines the case of Harry Peak, the blond-haired actor long suspected of setting fire to the LAPL more than thirty years ago. “A book lover’s dream…an ambitiously researched, elegantly written book that serves as a portal into a place of history, drama, culture, and stories” (Star Tribune, Minneapolis), Susan Orlean’s thrilling journey through the stacks reveals how these beloved institutions provide much more than just books—and why they remain an essential part of the heart, mind, and soul of our country.

Book Synopsis Library Blues by : Genevieve Kinslow
Download or read book Library Blues written by Genevieve Kinslow and published by RoseDog Books. This book was released on 2021-04-02 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Library Blues By: Genevieve Kinslow Genevieve Kinslow was tired of reading stories about white, straight, toxic couples falling in love. So, she wrote what she wanted to read. LGBTQ+ characters, check. Diverse characters, check. Awkward boys just trying to make it work, double check. There are countless books and movies about sixteen-year-old white girls falling for dumb guys, but that isn't what we all want, is it? C'mon, we're done hiding away the people who have done no wrong but live their lives, and no longer shall there be oppression against other races and sexual orientations. So here, Library Blue: a book written with zero damns but a whole lotta love. About the Author If you picked this book up because you liked the cover, know the writer, or were handed the book, Genevieve Kinslow is utterly thrilled that you now have a copy. This book is an extension of her personality, and through meeting the characters in this book, you will meet her. Our author: Genevieve Kinslow. To define her would leave space for change, of which she embraces like the cycle of day and night. But in saying that, she is also stubborn as a rock and many things about her have surely stayed the same. She has always been the weird girl, the dork, the band kid, and the queer. She was also the kid who got picked on but fought back. Her nose crinkles when she laughs; she smiles at herself in the mirror; and she never gives up a chance to dance very badly with her friends.
