Ruth Lednicer, CPL director of marketing, contacted American Libraries November 29 “to let you know how happy we are to report that the Chicago city council’s 2011 budget leaves Chicago Public Library’s funding with no change from 2010.”... American Libraries news, Nov. 30 Booking to the future Jamie E. Helgren writes: “In response to a hot-button issue in the library profession nationwide, the Library Research Service, a unit of the Colorado State Library, conducted a survey to check current library professionals’ predictions for the future of the paper book. It’s probably no surprise that respondents thought the trend would be toward electronic formats. But for a variety of reasons, paper books refuse to die a quiet death. Overall, almost two out of three (63%) respondents claimed that paper books would never disappear.”... American Libraries feature Chicago vies with Hawaii for Obama presidential library Competition appears to be growing between universities hoping to become the site of Barack Obama’s presidential library.

    Contact: Name: Beth Finke Email: [email protected] Phone: 610-966-4440 (publicist) Website: http://www.bethfinke.com New Memoir by Blind Writer Beth Finke Makes Readers Laugh, Cry, Write The uplifting true story of what Beth learned about life from the senior citizens in her Chicago memoir-writing courses CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, May 23, 2017 – She’s never taught a class in her life. But when the City of Chicago calls on blind writer Beth Finke to teach a memoir-writing class for older adults, she reluctantly agrees. What she learns about her students, their stories, and herself will move and inspire you. Writing Out Loud: What a Blind Teacher Learned from Leading a Memoir Class for Seniors, Golden Alley Press, 2017 ISBN 978-0-9984429-2-1 print $17.95 ISBN 978-0-9984429-3-8 ebook $ 9.99 http://bethfinke.com/books/ Written the way Beth hears life, readers will come to know and love Minerva, Wanda, Hannelore, and the whole colorful cast of characters who build a community around Beth’s classes. Generously sprinkled with excerpts in her students’ own voices, Beth’s book will convince readers to get their own stories down on paper while there’s still time. Writing Out Loud includes senior writers’ first-person accounts of a railroad trip to Mississippi in the “Jim Crow” car, a mother-in-law hiding from the Nazis in a Viennese wood, gang mischief in 1940s Chicago, along with Beth’s own adventures getting around the city with her Seeing Eye dog. If you’ve ever felt frightened by what life asks of you, if you’ve ever had to find your way in the dark, if you are over the age of 60 or love someone who is, this book is for you.

  • World Literature
    world literature Peter Harrington london This catalogue celebrates the international conversation that is literature, and the creativity that can spark when writers and texts cross national, linguistic, and cultural borders. For his lifelong commitment to literary internationalism, Jorge Luis Borges is a key figure here. One of the star items is Borges’s own annotated copy of Dante (20). Another is a man- uscript of the only poem he composed in the English language (17). We also have a scarce signed set of his Biblioteca de Babel series (21), which brought the great short stories of world literature to a South American audience. Many other items connect notable authors across place and time: Dylan Thomas’s school- boy copy of Omar Khayyám (item 179), T. S. Eliot’s Rimbaud (61), and E. M. Forster’s Chek- hov (41), for example. Among international presentations, Umberto Eco’s Name of the Rose to García Márquez is a show-stopper (58), as is García Márquez inscribing One Hundred Years of Solitude to his English publisher (67). A compelling example of international readership is found in a first American edition of Moby Dick being read by a poet in Hawaii who correspond- We are exhibiting at these fairs: ed with Melville (127).
