Women in History: Josephine Baker Wed., February 28, at 7 p.m. The life of Josephine Baker, African-American international star, civil rights activist and WWII heroine, will be portrayed by actress Vernice Jackson. Josephine Baker is Jackson’s favorite character because she was a free spirit who successfully reinvented herself over and over again. Obstacles were a temporary evil. She overcame poverty, lack of formal education, illnesses and racial discrimination. She was a true survivor. National Book Award Winner Phil Klay Wed., March 4, at 7 p.m. The library is thrilled to welcome Phil Klay, author of Redeployment, winner of the 2014 National Book Award for Fiction. A former marine and Iraq veteran, Phil Klay returned from the war in February 2008, and slowly began the process of thinking about what had happened there, and what had happened to the people and fellow soldiers he met. Redeployment takes readers to the front lines of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Books will be available for purchase and signing, courtesy of Macs Backs Books on Coventry. Meet the Author: D.M. Pulley Sat., March 7, at 2 p.m. Meet the author of The Dead Key, the Grand Prize Winner of the 2014 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. An atmospheric and richly detailed mystery, The Dead Key, weaves together the stories of Beatrice Baker, who begins work at the First Bank of Cleveland shortly before its mysterious collapse in 1978; and Iris Latch, the civil engineer hired to survey the abandoned, but perfectly preserved, bank building two decades later. Books will be available for purchase and signing courtesy of Macs Backs Books on Coventry.
