SUMMARY:Online Author Talk | Joseph Lee :  "Nothing More of This Land"
DESCRIPTION:Join us and journalist and author Joseph Lee as he chats online with us about his stirring memoir\, Nothing More of This Land: Community\, Power\, and the Search for Indigenous Identity. In it\, he explores Indigenous identity in proximity to land that serves as an iconic vacationing spot for the wealthy–the “island paradise” Martha’s Vineyard. Growing up Aquinnah Wampanoag\, Joseph Lee grappled with what it means to be an Indigenous person in the world today\, especially as tribal land\, culture\, and community face new threats.\nLee weaves his own story—and that of his family—with conversations with Indigenous leaders\, artists\, and scholars from around the world about everything from culture and language to climate change and the politics of belonging. As he unpacks the meaning of Indigenous identity\, Lee grants us a new understanding of our nation and what a better community might look like. \nYou can register for this free\, live\, online talk here.\nThis is one of a series of free\, live-streamed author talks made possible through the Library’s partnership with Library Speakers Consortium (LSC). You can learn more about upcoming presentations on our LSC microsite\, as well as watch recordings of presentations that you were unable to attend live. \nAbout the Author: Joseph Lee is an Aquinnah Wampanoag writer based in New York City. He has an MFA from Columbia University and teaches creative writing at Mercy University. His writing has been published in The Guardian\, BuzzFeed\, Vox\, High Country News\, and more. He was a Margins Fellow at the Asian American Writers Workshop and a Senior Indigenous Affairs Fellow at Grist.

SUMMARY:Adult Book Club | “When Books Went to War: The Stories That Helped Us Win World War II" by Molly Guptill Manning
DESCRIPTION:This month’s book will be When Books Went to War: The Stories That Helped Us Win World War II by Molly Guptill Manning. \nAbout the book: In 1943\, the War Department and the publishing industry stepped in with an extraordinary program: 120 million small\, lightweight paperbacks for troops to carry in their pockets and rucksacks in every theater of war. These Armed Services Editions were beloved by the troops and are still fondly remembered today.\nSoldiers read them while waiting to land at Normandy\, in hellish trenches in the midst of battles in the Pacific\, in field hospitals\, and on long bombing flights. They helped rescue The Great Gatsby from obscurity and made Betty Smith\, author of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn\, into a national icon.\nWhen Books Went to War is the inspiring story of the Armed Services Editions\, and a treasure for history buffs and book lovers alike. \nAbout the Author: Molly Guptill Manning is an author\, historian\, curator\, and associate professor of law at New York Law School. She is the author of the New York Times bestseller When Books Went to War\, The Myth of Ephraim Tutt\, and The War of Words. In 2026\, her next book\, A Librarian’s War\, will be published. She has spoken across the country about the power of the written word\, and has curated the exhibit\, “The Best-Read Army in the World\,” which launched in New York City in 2023 and is traveling around the United States. The exhibit showcases the essential role that books\, magazines\, and newspapers played in World War II.\nBefore she became a professor\, Molly worked in the New York federal courts for thirteen years. She earned a B.A. and M.A. in American history\, a J.D. at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law\, and an M.A. in Museum Studies from NYU. \nThe Adult Book Club meets in-person at the Library on the second Friday of each month (this month is an exception). If you have questions about the Book Club\, please email Linda Reimer: reimerl@stls.org \nCheck our calendar for future dates and book selections.
