  • King County Library System Director’S Report April 2013
    King County Library System Director’s Report April 2013 GOVERNMENT RELATIONS As the process continues, progress is being made on the Renton Library project. KCLS held a public meeting on March 26 to present the design for the new library over the Cedar River. Even though some of the 150 attendees objected to breakout stations, staff gathered good input from those who participated as well as from the audience comment period at the end of the meeting. Miller-Hull architects identified some of the main concerns raised by the public and addressed them in a follow-up presentation to the Renton City Council on April 15. Council members responded well to the design changes and the City has indicated it will consider increasing the budget to build a larger library that is closer to the size of the existing building. It is anticipated that the City Council will make a decision on the schematic design and project budget at its meeting on Monday, April 29. At the April 15 Renton City Council meeting, KCLS requested that if the City considers increasing the budget for the downtown library that it not be increased at the expense of the Renton Highlands Library. Council members agreed and asked staff to bring back plans for increasing the budget without impinging on the Highlands project. The City of Renton and its housing developer have made enough progress on the project that library design and planning is finally able to move forward. KCLS is scheduled to present schematic design and budget estimates to the Renton City Council on May 14.

The cast includes: Kate Del Castillo, Chad Deverman, Bill English*, Loraine Olsen, Louis Parnell*, Stacy Ross*, Will Springhorn Jr., Rebecca Schweitzer, and Phillip Torretto. *Appear courtesy of Actor’s Equity. Coronado, a mystery thriller from the pen of Dennis Lehane (Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone), is a crime-noir ride through the lives and passions of Middle Americans told through three intertwining tales: a father and son searching for a missing girl and a stolen diamond, a psychiatrist and a patient having an illicit affair, and two lovers plotting a murder. Complete with shady characters, sex, and murder, Coronado taps into that unsettling place where the familiar turns eerie as it explores our connection to our past and future selves and the things we are willing to do for love, for money, and finally, for redemption.

    Novetat Novel·la negra Dennis Lehane Després de la caiguda Since we fell, traducció al català de Ferran Ràfols Un dels grans de l’escriptura negrocriminal contemporània, traduït a 30 llengües. Ara, també en català! A la meva biblioteca hi ha escriptors representats per un dels seus llibres qualsevol com a mostra d’una obra esplèndida. També hi ha títols insubstituïbles, vàlids per si mateixos, independentment de la resta de la producció creativa del seu autor. I vull afegir-hi novetats mundials d’autors que em sembla que han d’estar representats d’una manera imprescindible en la cultura catalana. És el cas de Dennis Lehane i d’aquest llibre, la seva novetat internacional, Després de la caiguda. Dennis Lehane va rebre el Premi Pepe Carvalho de l’Ajuntament de Barcelona durant la celebració de la BCNegra 2017, quan jo formava part del jurat. Vam celebrar el conjunt d’un treball que inclou obres mestres com Mystic river o Gone, baby, gone, i he considerat que honoraria aquesta col·lecció poder comptar amb el seu darrer èxit. A Després de la caiguda, Dennis Lehane recrea la personalitat fascinant de Rachel, una periodista que busca un pare impossible entre setanta- tres James, que es crema a l’infern d’un Haití devastat i despietat, i que un dia es veu abocada a disparar contra el seu marit. Veu com ell cau a l’aigua des del vaixell i, a partir d’aquell moment, ella i el lector es pregunten (i responen) què passa després de la caiguda.
