FOL University, the Friends of the Library’s lecture series, returns on Sunday, November 5 at 1:30 p.m. with two renowned scholars. Dr. Charles A. Riley II, newly-named director of the Nassau County Museum of Art, will lecture on Fitzgerald and the Jazz Age, and bestselling author, linguist and Columbia University professor Dr. John McWhorter will speak on his most recent book, Words on the Move: Why English Won’t—and Can’t—Sit Still.

Fitzgerald and the Jazz Age At 1:30 p.m., Dr. Riley will share stories of the wild times and masterpieces of a tightly-connected group of Jazz Age geniuses (Picasso, Leger, Le Corbusier, Chanel, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Joyce, Gershwin and Porter, to name a few). He will pay special attention to F. Scott Fitzgerald, and how he created his masterpiece The Great Gatsby.

Dr. Riley is the author of two books on the Jazz Age, the newly published Free as Gods: How the Jazz Age Reinvented Modernism and The Jazz Age in France. In addition to his leadership at the Nassau County Museum of Art, he is an art critic, curator and a professor at Clarkson University. A graduate of Princeton University, he received his Ph.D. from The Graduate Center of City University of New York.

The Dynamism of English At 3 p.m., following a brief refreshment break, Dr. John McWhorter will discuss Words on the Move, in which he encour- ages us to marvel at the dynamism and resilience of English. Whether it’s the use of “literally” to mean “figuratively,” or the now-ubiquitous “LOL,” many people feel that the language is deteriorating before our eyes. Drawing examples from everyday life and employing a generous helping of humor, Dr. McWhorter argues that change is common to all languages, and should be embraced.

Dr. McWhorter is Associate Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia and the author of The Lan- guage Hoax, The Power of Babel, and Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue. He earned his B.A. from Rutgers University, his M.A. from New York University, and his Ph.D. in Linguistics from Stanford University. He writes for TIME, CNN, The Wall Street Journal, and The Atlantic, and his articles have appeared in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post, among other publications.

“We are so pleased to welcome these two accomplished scholars discussing such culturally important and interesting topics,” said Ellen Zimmerman, vice president of the Friends and co-chair of FOL University. For more information on FOL events see www.pwpl.org/fol/ or email [email protected].

Sunday, November 12 at 3 p.m. Tuesday, November 14 at 7:30 p.m. Daniel Hsu, piano A meat and greet with Bill Schutt

On Sunday, November 12 at 3 p.m., Daniel Hsu returns to the Library to perform selections from Beethoven and Scriabin. Characterized by the Philadelphia Inquirer as having “an expressive edge to his playing that charms, questions, and coaxes,” eighteen-year-old Daniel Hsu—a 2016 Gilmore Young Artist—is a fast-rising pianist who was recently named the First Prize winner at the Concert Artists Guild Competition.

Hsu has earned top prizes in numerous competitions, most recently the Bronze medal at the 9th Hamamatsu International Piano Competition in Japan, and first prize at the San Jose International Piano Competition, Pacific Musical Society Piano Competition and San Francisco Chopin Competition.

Made possible by the PWPL Music Advisory Council. On Tuesday, November 14 at 7:30 p.m., join American Museum of Natural History zoologist Bill Schutt for a taste of his witty new book, Cannibalism, A Perfectly Natural History.

Why do many fish eat their offspring? Why do amphibians consume their mother’s skin? Why, until the end of the eighteenth century, did British royalty eat human body parts? Cannibalism is a widespread occurrence— historically, even among humans, who have engaged in it for reasons of famine, burial rites, and medicinal remedies; it’s been used as a way to terrorize and even to show filial piety. The author investigates the logic behind such behavior and explores new research on the subject.

“A learned, accessible and engaging approach to a meaty and always- controversial subject.”—Kirkus

Refreshments, unrelated to the topic, will be served. Books will be avail- able for purchase and signing. Made possible by the Friends of the Library.

Everyone is becoming interested, and when looking back upon the year’s work, a feeling of thankfulness cannot but be in the breast of every Parent-Child Home Program one of our people who has the good of the community at heart. Let us forget our troubles during this Thanksgiving season and be glad for what we have. The Library’s Parent-Child Home Program (PCHP) is an innovative home- based literacy and parenting program serving families that are facing We made some such remark to a skeptic some days ago and he snarled: challenges.

Let us be thankful and work like beavers. Let us be proud of our village and keep it looking attractive. Let us welcome strangers. Let us try to deserve the benefits we have received and pass along the good work. REGISTRATION POLICY Please see event listings for registration requirements.
