Join Librarian Will for a discussion of The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman.
A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond (a pond that she'd claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.
A groundbreaking work as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out. (Goodreads)

Join Miss Christina for a discussion of Amari and the Night Brothers by B.B. Alston.
This program is suitable for children in grades 4-6 and will take place in person at the Parkville Branch and simultaneously via Zoom. Those opting to attend the program via Zoom will receive an email with the meeting details. Circulating copies will be held at the desk for checkout.
Registration begins April 6 at 10AM
About the book:
Amari Peters has never stopped believing her missing brother, Quinton, is alive. Not even when the police told her otherwise, or when she got in trouble for standing up to bullies who said he was gone for good.
So when she finds a ticking briefcase in his closet, containing a nomination for a summer tryout at the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs, she’s certain the secretive organization holds the key to locating Quinton—if only she can wrap her head around the idea of magicians, fairies, aliens, and other supernatural creatures all being real.
Now she must compete for a spot against kids who’ve known about magic their whole lives. No matter how hard she tries, Amari can’t seem to escape their intense doubt and scrutiny—especially once her supernaturally enhanced talent is deemed “illegal.” With an evil magician threatening the supernatural world, and her own classmates thinking she’s an enemy, Amari has never felt more alone. But if she doesn’t stick it out and pass the tryouts, she may never find out what happened to Quinton.

May 7th Discussion: Yellowface by RF Kuang
White lies. Dark humor. Deadly consequences... Bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not who she says she is, she didn't write the book she claims she wrote, and she is most certainly not Asian American—in this chilling and hilariously cutting novel from R.F. Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel.
Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athena's a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody. Who wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks.
So when June witnesses Athena's death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena's just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I.
So what if June edits Athena's novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Song—complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? Doesn't this piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller? That's what June claims, and the New York Times bestseller list seems to agree.
But June can't get away from Athena's shadow, and emerging evidence threatens to bring June's (stolen) success down around her. As June races to protect her secret, she discovers exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves.

May 7th Discussion: Yellowface by RF Kuang
White lies. Dark humor. Deadly consequences... Bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not who she says she is, she didn't write the book she claims she wrote, and she is most certainly not Asian American—in this chilling and hilariously cutting novel from R.F. Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel.
Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athena's a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody. Who wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks.
So when June witnesses Athena's death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena's just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I.
So what if June edits Athena's novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Song—complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? Doesn't this piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller? That's what June claims, and the New York Times bestseller list seems to agree.
But June can't get away from Athena's shadow, and emerging evidence threatens to bring June's (stolen) success down around her. As June races to protect her secret, she discovers exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves.
With its totally immersive first-person voice, Yellowface grapples with questions of diversity, racism, and cultural appropriation, as well as the terrifying alienation of social media. R.F. Kuang's novel is timely, razor-sharp, and eminently readable.

Looking to join a Book Discussion Group? Join us at Station Branch for Station Reader's Society on Wednesday, May 8th! This month's discussion is Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin.
From the best-selling author of The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry: On a bitter-cold day, in the December of his junior year at Harvard, Sam Masur exits a subway car and sees, amid the hordes of people waiting on the platform, Sadie Green. He calls her name. For a moment, she pretends she hasn’t heard him, but then, she turns, and a game begins: a legendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom.
These friends, intimates since childhood, borrow money, beg favors, and, before even graduating college, they have created their first blockbuster, Ichigo. Overnight, the world is theirs. Not even twenty-five years old, Sam and Sadie are brilliant, successful, and rich, but these qualities won’t protect them from their own creative ambitions or the betrayals of their hearts.
Spanning thirty years, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Venice Beach, California, and lands in between and far beyond, Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow examines the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.
Please call Station Branch at 516-466-8055 ext 258 to arrange a copy of the book. EBook and EAudiobook copies of the can be accessed through Nassau Digital Doorway: https://nassau.overdrive.com/search?query=Tomorrow%2C+and+Tomorrow%2C+and+Tomorrow

May Selection: Kinder Than Solitude by Yiyun Li
...The lingering taste of “Kinder Than Solitude” is a pervasive bitterness over the crushed and wasted dreams of the teenagers of 1989. The unsolved crime that haunts this novel is the bodies driven from [Tiananmen] Square on a flatbed tricycle, whose dark ghosts cast shadows everywhere you look, even in the gleaming China of today [NYT]
Brilliantly written, a breathtaking page-turner, Kinder Than Solitude resonates with provocative observations about human nature and life. In mesmerizing prose, and with profound insight, Yiyun Li unfolds this remarkable story, even as she explores the impact of personality and the past on the shape of a person’s present and future.

Dictators of both the left and the right persecuted modern art in the early 20th century. Join us in this 3-part series, Art Under the Dictators and Under the Democrat, as we explore the reasons for both its unpopularity with the demagogues and its eventual triumph in America during the postwar period. Be sure to also join us for The Fate of Art in Nazi Germany and Art Under Roosevelt During the Great Depression.
Art and Revolution in the Soviet Union
Lenin saw the revolutionary potential of avant-garde art, architecture and design and instituted sweeping changes in which modernism became almost the official art of the fledgling Soviet Union, but with Stalin's rise to power, all art was banished that could not be used as propaganda by the Communist Party for furthering its social and economic objectives. Most of Russia's finest artists and designers emigrated to the West.
Presenter Dennis Raverty is a speaker, author and art historian who for decades has delighted audiences with lively presentations at libraries, churches, synagogues, hostels and business lunches on a variety of topics in the history of art, from the Italian Renaissance to the Harlem Renaissance. His articles and criticism has appeared in Art Journal, Art in America, The International Review of African American Art, Art Criticism, The New Art Examiner, Prospects: An Annual of American Studies, Source: Notes in the History of Art. and Art Papers, where he was a contributing editor. He authored four entries for the most recent edition of the Grove Encyclopedia of American Art, published by Oxford University Press (2011).

Join us for this historical lecture to commemorate Israeli Independence Day. Please register for Zoom link, beginning April 25 at 10 am. Open to all.
This talk recalls the international political context in which the state of Israel was established contrasts sharply with that of today. In the United States, in the years immediately following World War II and the Holocaust, support for the Zionist project extended across most of the political spectrum but was most emphatic among liberals and leftists. In France, the same spectrum of support extended from Gaullists to liberals, socialists, and communists. In the crucial years of 1947 to 1949, the Soviet Union and Soviet bloc offered crucial diplomatic and military support to the Zionists in Palestine, and then to the new state of Israel.
Conversely, in those same years, the United States Department of State and the British Foreign Office opposed the Zionists’ efforts because they suspected them of association with the Soviet Union and thought a Jewish state in Palestine would undermine West European access to oil. In other words, the conventional meaning of famous words—colonialism, imperialism, racism, and fascism—were often the direct opposite of what they came to mean in global discussion especially since the 1960s.
This talk recalls these political coordinates of Israel’s Moment and reflects on their contemporary significance in light of the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023, and Iran’s missile barrage at Israel of April 13, 2024.
Jeffrey Herf is Distinguished University Professor, Emeritus in the Department of History, University of Maryland, College Park, where he taught Modern European, especially modern German History since 2000. He has published extensively on the origins, nature, consequences of Nazism, World War II and the Holocaust, and their aftermath in Europe and the Middle East, and on the history of antisemitism.
His books include The Jewish Enemy: Nazi Propaganda during World War II and the Holocaust (Harvard U.P., 2006); Nazi Propaganda for the Arab World (Yale University Press, 2009); Undeclared Wars with Israel: East Germany and the West German Far Left, 1967-1989 (Cambridge U.P., 2016); Israel's Moment: International Support and Opposition for Establishing the Jewish State, 1945-1949 (Cambridge U.P., 2022); and Three Faces of Antisemitism: Right, Left, and Islamist (Routledge, 2024). He has also published essays on contemporary history in American Purpose, New Republic, Quillette, SAPIR, and The Washington Post.
Benny Morris was born in Israel in 1948 and grew up in Jerusalem and New York. He served in the IDF (Nahal paratroops) and did his BA at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a Ph.D. in modern European history at Cambridge. He worked as a journalist at the Jerusalem Post for ten years and from 1997 until 2017 was a professor of Middle East history at Ben-Gurion University. In 2015-2018 taught at Georgetown University. Among his books: The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem 1947-1949 (Cambridge UP 1988); Righteous Victims (Knopf, 1999); 1948, A History of the First Arab-Israeli War (Yale UP, 2008); and Sidney Reilly, Master Spy (Yale UP, 2022). He has published articles in The New York Times, The New York Review of Books, The Wall Street Journal, The New Republic, Corriere della Sera, Die Welt, etc.

The key to getting every interview you seek is an effective resume, one that maximizes your strengths and minimizes your weaknesses. You are the product and your resume is your No. 1 marketing tool. Get it right and you are on the path to your dream job.
Many well qualified candidates never get the chance to interview because their resumes did not “sell” the product. Applying the AIDA Principle of advertising to the job of writing an effective resume is a must. Your resume must grab Attention, spark Interest, create Demand, and motivate Action. This workshop provides you with the technical, nitty-gritty know-how necessary to secure every interview you want.
The program will be divided into two segments: lecture and Q&A period. The topics covered include purpose of the resume, formats (chronological, functional), resume components, resume tips, cover letters, reference lists, and letters of recommendation.
Constance Hallinan Lagan, director of The Entrepreneurial Center for Small Business Development, lectures nationwide on the job search, career advancement, entrepreneurship and personal growth for corporations, government agencies, professional associations, labor unions, hospitals, senior centers, health care agencies, support groups, financial institutions, women’s organizations, churches, colleges, universities and libraries nationwide, including 101 libraries on Long Island.
Connie's byline appears in more than sixty publications, including Woman’s Circle, Entrepreneur, In Business, Income Opportunities, Chamber of Commerce Pacesetter, Profitable Merchandising, Successful Meetings and Professional Speaker.
Connie brings information and insight, humor and hope, to her audiences every time she speaks.

Join the Great Neck Library for a special intergenerational screening of Cycle of Memory: the new award-winning documentary about two siblings' bicycle adventure to find the memories their grandfather lost to Alzheimer's.
The film is 72 minutes long. Virtual Q&A with the director will follow the screening. No registration is required. First come first seated.
About the film: Mel Schwartz escaped the Great Depression on a bicycle adventure he’d remember for the rest of his life. But when Alzheimer’s takes Mel’s memories away, it’s left to his grandkids to recreate the life-changing bike trip and find those memories again.
Guided by old photographs of the 1945 trip, they search for places aged by time. But while searching for Grandpa Mel’s past, the two are confronted with their own fraught history. If they’re going to complete the turbulent journey, they’ll have to face their own emotional potholes and tumultuous relationship.
With the help of a grandmother learning to live alone for the first time, Mel’s lifelong friend and co-adventurer on the bike trip, and a family collection spanning 1950s film reels to 1990s video tapes, Cycle of Memory explores the importance of intergenerational connection, healing painful pasts, and leaving a meaningful time capsule for the future.
“Powerful, inspiring, and moving.” - Eilon Caspi BSW MA PhD, Gerontologist & Dementia Behavior Specialist
“Cycle of Memory is beautiful, thoughtful, real, poignant and fitting for all ages and audiences. The care, authenticity, and courage that it takes to love and stay connected to family was very inspirational.” - Lisa Peterson, Nationally Board Certified Music Therapist working with seniors with memory loss and their caregivers
“Cycle of Memory is very moving, with a real sense of family and place; there is much for reflection or discussion, suitable for an audience that wants to stick around after a viewing.” - Mark Poarch, CEO Alzheimer’s BRACE

May Pick: Fifty Words for Rain by Asha Lemmie
From debut author Asha Lemmie, a sweeping, heartrending coming-of-age novel about a young woman's quest for acceptance in post–World War II Japan.
Kyoto, Japan, 1948. "If a woman knows nothing else, she should know how to be silent. . . . Do not question. Do not fight. Do not resist." Such is eight-year-old Noriko "Nori" Kamiza's first lesson. She will not question why her mother abandoned her with only these final words. She will not fight her confinement to the attic of her grandparents' imperial estate. And she will not resist the scalding chemical baths she receives daily to lighten her shameful skin.
The illegitimate child of a Japanese aristocrat and her African American GI lover, Nori is an outsider from birth. Though her grandparents take her in, they do so only to conceal her, fearful of a stain on the royal pedigree that they are desperate to uphold in a changing Japan. Obedient to a fault, Nori accepts her solitary life for what it is, despite her natural intellect and nagging curiosity about what lies outside the attic's walls. But when chance brings her legitimate older half-brother, Akira, to the estate that is his inheritance and destiny, Nori finds in him the first person who will allow her to question, and the siblings form an unlikely but powerful bond—a bond their formidable grandparents cannot allow and that will irrevocably change the lives they were always meant to lead. Because now that Nori has glimpsed a world in which perhaps there is a place for her after all, she is ready to fight to be a part of it—a battle that just might cost her everything.
Spanning decades and continents, Fifty Words for Rain is a dazzling epic about the ties that bind, the ties that give you strength, and what it means to try to break free. (Goodreads)
Title is also available as an Ebook and an EAudiobook on Overdrive: https://nassau.overdrive.com/search?query=fifty+words+for+rain

Join Librarian Will for a discussion of Beasts of a Little Land by Juhea Kim.
In 1917, deep in the snowy mountains of occupied Korea, an impoverished local hunter on the brink of starvation saves a young Japanese officer from an attacking tiger. In an instant, their fates are connected—and from this encounter unfolds a saga that spans half a century.
In the aftermath, a young girl named Jade is sold by her family to Miss Silver’s courtesan school, an act of desperation that will cement her place in the lowest social status. When she befriends an orphan boy named JungHo, who scrapes together a living begging on the streets of Seoul, they form a deep friendship. As they come of age, JungHo is swept up in the revolutionary fight for independence, and Jade becomes a sought-after performer with a new romantic prospect of noble birth. Soon Jade must decide whether she will risk everything for the one who would do the same for her.
From the perfumed chambers of a courtesan school in Pyongyang to the glamorous cafes of a modernizing Seoul and the boreal forests of Manchuria, where battles rage, Juhea Kim’s unforgettable characters forge their own destinies as they wager their nation’s. Immersive and elegant, Beasts of a Little Land unveils a world where friends become enemies, enemies become saviors, heroes are persecuted, and beasts take many shapes. (Goodreads)

June 2024: The Rabbit Hutch by Tess Gunty
An online obituary writer. A young mother with a dark secret. A woman waging a solo campaign against rodents — neighbors, separated only by the thin walls of a low-cost housing complex in the once bustling industrial center of Vacca Vale, Indiana.
Welcome to the Rabbit Hutch.
Ethereally beautiful and formidably intelligent, Blandine shares her apartment with three teenage boys she neither likes nor understands, all, like her, now aged out of the state foster care system that has repeatedly failed them, all searching for meaning in their lives.
Set over one sweltering week in July and culminating in a bizarre act of violence that finally changes everything, The Rabbit Hutch is a savagely beautiful and bitingly funny snapshot of contemporary America, a gorgeous and provocative tale of loneliness and longing, entrapment and, ultimately, freedom.
Title is also available as EBook & EAudiobook on Overdrive: https://nassau.overdrive.com/search?query=The+Rabbit+Hutch

Dictators of both the left and the right persecuted modern art in the early 20th century. Join us in part 2 of this 3-part series, Art Under the Dictators and Under the Democrat, as we explore the reasons for both its unpopularity with the demagogues and its eventual triumph in America during the postwar period. Be sure to also join us for Art Under Roosevelt During the Great Depression.
The Fate of Art in Nazi Germany
An international faculty of distinguished modernists taught at the Bauhaus School of Art and Design in liberal Germany during the 1920s, but Hitler organized modern art seized from museums into his "Degenerate Art Exhibit" of 1936, which ridiculed modernism as an unhygienic symptom of miscegenation that needs to be outlawed. As a result, most of central Europe's best artists, designers and architects moved to the United States.
Presenter Dennis Raverty is a speaker, author and art historian who for decades has delighted audiences with lively presentations at libraries, churches, synagogues, hostels and business lunches on a variety of topics in the history of art, from the Italian Renaissance to the Harlem Renaissance. His articles and criticism has appeared in Art Journal, Art in America, The International Review of African American Art, Art Criticism, The New Art Examiner, Prospects: An Annual of American Studies, Source: Notes in the History of Art. and Art Papers, where he was a contributing editor. He authored four entries for the most recent edition of the Grove Encyclopedia of American Art, published by Oxford University Press (2011).

Looking to join a Book Discussion Group? Join us at Station Branch for Station Reader's Society on Wednesday, June 12th! This month's discussion is The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune!
A magical island. A dangerous task. A burning secret.
Linus Baker leads a quiet, solitary life. At forty, he lives in a tiny house with a devious cat and his old records. As a Case Worker at the Department in Charge Of Magical Youth, he spends his days overseeing the well-being of children in government-sanctioned orphanages.
When Linus is unexpectedly summoned by Extremely Upper Management he's given a curious and highly classified assignment: travel to Marsyas Island Orphanage, where six dangerous children reside: a gnome, a sprite, a wyvern, an unidentifiable green blob, a were-Pomeranian, and the Antichrist. Linus must set aside his fears and determine whether or not they’re likely to bring about the end of days.
But the children aren’t the only secret the island keeps. Their caretaker is the charming and enigmatic Arthur Parnassus, who will do anything to keep his wards safe. As Arthur and Linus grow closer, long-held secrets are exposed, and Linus must make a choice: destroy a home or watch the world burn.
An enchanting story, masterfully told, The House in the Cerulean Sea is about the profound experience of discovering an unlikely family in an unexpected place—and realizing that family is yours.
Want to recieve a copy of the book ahead of the discussion? Please call the branch at 516-466-8055 ext 258 to arrange for a copy. Digital copies of selections are available via the link here.

June Pick: Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
Remarkably Bright Creatures, an exploration of friendship, reckoning, and hope, tracing a widow's unlikely connection with a giant Pacific octopus.
After Tova Sullivan's husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she's been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago.
Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn't dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors--until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.
Ever the detective, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova's son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it's too late.
Shelby Van Pelt's debut novel is a gentle reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible. (Goodreads)
Title is also available as an Ebook and an EAudiobook on Overdrive: https://nassau.overdrive.com/search?query=remarkably+bright+creatures

Join Librarian Will for a discussion of Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel.
Set in the days of civilization's collapse, Station Eleven tells the story of a Hollywood star, his would-be savior, and a nomadic group of actors roaming the scattered outposts of the Great Lakes region, risking everything for art and humanity.
One snowy night a famous Hollywood actor slumps over and dies onstage during a production of King Lear. Hours later, the world as we know it begins to dissolve. Moving back and forth in time—from the actor's early days as a film star to fifteen years in the future, when a theater troupe known as the Traveling Symphony roams the wasteland of what remains—this suspenseful, elegiac, spellbinding novel charts the strange twists of fate that connect five people: the actor, the man who tried to save him, the actor's first wife, his oldest friend, and a young actress with the Traveling Symphony, caught in the crosshairs of a dangerous self-proclaimed prophet. (Goodreads)
