		Contact: Jennifer Gibson (757) 441-5335 jennifer.gibson@norfolk.gov
		Join us the third Friday of each month for book club! Activities for children will be provided. Swamplandia! by Karen Russell Russell’s lavishly imagined and spectacularly crafted first novel sprang from a story in her highly praised collection, St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves (2006). Swamplandia! is a shabby tourist attraction deep in the Everglades, owned by the Bigtree clan of alligator wrestlers. When Hilola, their star performer, dies, her husband and children lose their moorings, and Swamplandia! itself is endangered as audiences dwindle. The Chief leaves. Brother Kiwi, 17, sneaks off to work at the World of Darkness, a new mainland amusement park featuring the “rings of hell.” Otherworldly sister Osceola, 16, vanishes after falling in love with the ghost of a young man who died while working for the ill-fated Dredge and Fill Campaign in the 1930s. It’s up to Ava, 13, to find her sister, and her odyssey to the Underworld is mythic, spellbinding, and terrifying. Russell’s powers reside in her profound knowledge of the great imperiled swamp, from its alligators and insects, floating orchids and invasive “strangler” melaleuca trees to the tragic history of its massacred indigenous people and wildlife. Ravishing, elegiac, funny, and brilliantly inquisitive, Russell’s archetypal swamp saga tells a mystical yet rooted tale of three innocents who come of age through trials of water, fire, and air. --Donna Seaman (review from Amazon.com) Come join us!

Celebrate the nation's birthday with us by coming to discuss Pulitzer winner David McCullough's (John Adams and Truman) very well received work, 1776. A thrilling account of a critical year in the nation's embryonic phase, take this opportunity to learn about and discuss our nation's improbable beginnings as related by one of the nation's most beloved and learned historians.

		Contact: Jennifer Gibson (757) 441-5335 jennifer.gibson@norfolk.gov
		Best described as a show without boundaries, Hilby is the living proof that being German doesn’t mean you can not be funny. While being an expert in juggling all sorts of objects and subjects as well as countless circus and variety skills (such as Unicycling, ropewalking, unsupported ladder, fire manipulations and eating, balancing stunts and the list goes on and on), he really gets his audience involved and creates magical and hiliraious moments through their participation. Yes all that and more..... the long and short of it is that you will love this Skinny German Juggle Boy!
