Island Booknotes 2022-23

The Library Foundation is excited to present Carol Armstrong, who will speak about her husband’s book, Bok’s Giant Leap: One Moon Rock’s Journey Through Time and Space, in the library loggia on Tuesday, March 28, at 4 p.m. 

In 2006, at the Cincinnati Museum Center, NASA honored Neil with an Ambassador of Exploration award. He spoke to the assembly about the moon rock’s cosmic journey, telling a dramatic astronomical story. He humanized the moon rock and christened him Bok.

Although Bok’s Giant Leap is a children’s book, Carol’s talk will be geared toward adults. During the week, the library will offer hands-on science-related children’s activities.

The Johann Fust Library Foundation is excited to present a unique program featuring two professors from the University of Central Florida in a conversation about writing. The university offers a bachelor’s degree and an MFA in Creative Writing. The strength of any creative writing program depends on the talents of the faculty.

Chrissy Kolaya and David James Poissant are scholars and inspired teachers, but beyond that, they are published authors. Ms. Kolaya’s recent novel is Charmed Particles, and Mr. Poissant’s is Lake Life. Both books are available for purchase in the Library Foundation office.

Join us in what promises to be an inspiring program for our community’s readers and aspiring writers.
