SUMMARY:ILP: Danny Trejo Talks Tacos\, Hollywood\, and Redemption
DESCRIPTION:Tues\, April 4 @ 7pm | Zoom\nRegister here: bit.ly/ILP_DannyTrejo \nActor\, author\, and restaurateur Danny Trejo will discuss how he developed a prolific career in the entertainment industry with a hard-earned and atypical road to success. From years of imprisonment to helping troubled youth battle drug addictions\, from acting to producing\, and now on to restaurant ventures\, Trejo’s name\, face\, and achievements are well recognized in Hollywood and beyond\, but it is his continuous role as a devoted father of three and an intervention counselor that bring him the most satisfaction \nTrejo has starred in dozens of films including Desperado\, Heat\, the From Dusk Til Dawn series\, Con Air\, Once Upon a Time in Mexico\, Spy Kids\, and Machete. On the television side\, he’s had recurring roles on Sons of Anarchy\, King of the Hill\, Breaking Bad\, and The Flash\, among others.

SUMMARY:ILP: The Weird and Wonderful World with Mary Roach
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 1st @ 7pm on Zoom!\nRegister for the event here: ILP Event Registration \nExperience an entertaining and hilarious evening with New York Times best-selling science author\, Mary Roach – despite her claim that “people call me a science writer\, though I don’t have a science degree and sometimes have to fake my way through interviews with experts I can’t understand”! Roach will discuss her frank approach to science\, the importance of humor\, and explore the weird\, wonderful world in which we live. \nDubbed “America’s funniest science writer” by the Washington Post\, Roach has explored topics from the curious lives of human cadavers\, packing to visit space\, the afterlife\, the alimentary canal\, and more. Mary Roach is the author of six New York Times bestsellers\, including Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers; Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal\, and Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void. Her newest book Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law\, debuted  September 2021. Mary’s books have been published in 21 languages\, and her second book\, Spook\, was a New York Times Notable Book.  \nMary has written for National Geographic\, Wired\, The New York Times Magazine\, and the Journal of Clinical Anatomy\, among others. She was a guest editor of the Best American Science and Nature Writing series and an Osher Fellow with the San Francisco Exploratorium and serves as an advisor for Orion and Undark magazines. She has been a finalist for the Royal Society’s Winton Prize and a winner of the American Engineering Societies’ Engineering Journalism Award\, in a category for which\, let’s be honest\, she was the sole entrant. \nRoach claims to have no hobbies\, but enjoys bird-watching\, hiking\, playing scrabble\, and watching late-night Animal Planet. \nAnnalee Newitz will join Mary Roach in conversation. Newitz has a Ph.D. in English and American Studies from UC Berkeley and is one half of the hilarious\, Hugo Award-winning podcast\, “Our Opinions are Correct.” On their show\, Newitz delves into the weird\, wonderful\, and nerdy framework of science in pop culture. Previously\, they were the founder of io9\, and served as the editor-in-chief of Gizmodo. \nThey write science fiction and nonfiction. They are the author of Four Lost Cities: A Secret History of the Urban Age and Scatter\, Adapt and Remember: How Humans Will Survive a Mass Extinction\, which was a finalist for the LA Times Book Prize in science. They’re also the author of the novels The Terraformers (forthcoming in January 2023)\, The Future of Another Timeline\, and Autonomous\, which won the Lambda Literary Award.  \nAs a journalist\, they are a writer for the New York Times and elsewhere\, and have a monthly column in New Scientist. They have published in The Washington Post\, Slate\, Popular Science\, Ars Technica\, The New Yorker\, and The Atlantic\, among others.  \nThis event is made possible by Illinois Libraries Present\, a statewide collaboration among public libraries offering premier events. ILP is funded in part by a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library\, a department of the Office of Secretary of State\, using funds provided by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services\, under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA).  \nILP is committed to inclusion and accessibility.

While supplies last! \nBetween life and death there is a library\, and within that library\, the shelves go on forever. Every book provides a chance to try another life you could have lived\, if you had made other choices. Would you have done anything different\, if you had the chance to undo your regrets? Nora Seed must search within herself as she travels through the Midnight Library to decide what is truly fulfilling in life\, and what makes it worth living in the first place.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion: Circe by Madeline Miller
DESCRIPTION:Join us Thursday\, January 26th @ 5:30pm at the library to discuss the novel that inspired a boom in retellings and reimaginings of mythology from the perspective of the women\, Circe by Madeline Miller. Books are available for pick up now to allow for extended reading time due to the holidays. While supplies last! \nDaughter of Helios\, Circe is born with the power of witchcraft which can transform enemies into monsters and menace the gods themselves. Banished by Zeus for fear of her powers\, she hones her craft and crosses paths with many famous figures in mythology\, when she meets Odysseus. Unwittingly drawing the wrath of men and gods alike\, Circe must choose one and for all whether she belongs among the gods with the mortals she has come to love. With unforgettably vivid characters\, mesmerizing language and page-turning suspense\, Circe is a subversive retelling of The Odyssey\, recasting the most infamous from the epic as a hero in her own right.
