SUMMARY:Virtual Author Event: Rex Ogle
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to join us online with award-winning author Rex Ogle as he talks to viewers about his struggles to navigate sixth grade as written about in his book Free Lunch. \nInstead of giving him lunch money\, Rex’s mom has signed him up for free meals. As a poor kid in a wealthy school district\, better-off kids crowd impatiently behind him as he tries to explain to the cashier that he’s on the free meal program. The lunch lady is hard of hearing\, so Rex has to shout. \nFree Lunch is the story of Rex’s efforts to navigate his first semester of sixth grade—who to sit with\, not being able to join the football team\, Halloween in a handmade costume\, classmates and a teacher who take one look at him and decide he’s trouble—all while wearing secondhand clothes and being hungry. His mom and her boyfriend are out of work\, and life at home is punctuated by outbursts of violence. Halfway through the semester\, his family is evicted and ends up in government-subsidized housing in view of the school. Rex lingers at the end of last period every day until the buses have left\, so no one will see where he lives. \nUnsparing and realistic\, Free Lunch is a story of hardship threaded with hope and moments of grace. Rex’s voice is compelling and authentic\, and Free Lunch is a true\, timely\, and essential work that illuminates the lived experience of poverty in America. Register now to join the conversation! \nAbout the Author: Rex Ogle is the author of Free Lunch\, winner of the YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults Award; Punching Bag\, a New York Public Library Best Book; Abuela Don’t Forget Me\, finalist for the YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults Award; and Road Home\, which received a Printz Honor and a Stonewall Book Award Honor. \nThis event will be recorded and people who register will be emailed a link to the recording. \nRegister now. \nThis event is made possible by the Traverse des Sioux Library Cooperative. The event is held in coordination with Library Speakers Consortium and presented by Waseca-Le Sueur Regional Library System. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Event: Pria Anand
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to a fascinating conversation with neurologist and author Pria Anand to chat about her new book The Mind Electric: A Neurologist on the Strangeness and Wonder of Our Brains. \nThe Mind Electric speaks to the stories we tell ourselves about our brains\, and the stories that our brains tell to us. \nA girl believes she has been struck blind for stealing a kiss. A mother watches helplessly as each of her children is replaced by a changeling. A woman is haunted each month by the same four chords of a single song. In neurology\, illness is inextricably linked with narrative\, the clues to unraveling these mysteries hidden in both the details of a patient’s story and the tells of their body. \nStories are etched into the very structure of our brains\, coded so deeply that the impulse for storytelling survives and even surges after the most devastating injuries. But our brains are also porous—the stories they concoct are shaped by cultural narratives about bodies and illness that permeate the minds of doctors and patients alike. In the history of medicine\, some stories are heard\, while others—the narratives of women\, of Black and brown people\, of displaced people\, of disempowered people—are too often dismissed. \nIn The Mind Electric\, neurologist Pria Anand reveals—through case study\, history\, fable\, and memoir—all that the medical establishment has overlooked: the complexity and wonder of brains in health and in extremis\, and the vast gray area between sanity and insanity\, doctor and patient\, and illness and wellness\, each separated from the next by the thin veneer of a different story. \nMoving from the Boston hospital where she treats her patients\, to her childhood years in India\, to Isla Providencia in the Caribbean and to the Republic of Guinea in West Africa\, she demonstrates again and again the compelling paradox at the heart of neurology: that even the most peculiar symptoms can show us something universal about ourselves as humans. Register now to join this intriguing virtual conversation! \nAbout the Author: Pria Anand is a neurologist at the Boston Medical Center and an Assistant Professor at the Boston University School of Medicine. She is a graduate of Yale University and Stanford Medical School\, and she trained in neurology\, neuro-infectious diseases\, and neuroimmunology at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Massachusetts General Hospital. \nThis event will be recorded and people who register will be emailed a link to the recording. \nRegister now. \nThis event is made possible by the Traverse des Sioux Library Cooperative. The event is held in coordination with Library Speakers Consortium and presented by Waseca-Le Sueur Regional Library System. \n  \n
