SUMMARY:Jeff Bremer: A New History of Iowa
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Saturday\, September 6 at 2:00pm for a presentation by Jeff Bremer\, author of A New History of Iowa. \nJeff Bremer’s A New History of Iowa offers the most comprehensive history of the Hawkeye State ever written\, surveying Iowa from the last ice age through the COVID-19 pandemic. It tells a new and vibrant story\, examining the state’s small-town culture\, politics\, social and economic development\, and its many diverse inhabitants. Bremer features well-known individuals\, such as Sauk leader Black Hawk\, artist Grant Wood\, botanist George Washington Carver\, suffragist Carrie Chapman Catt\, and President Herbert Hoover. But Bremer broadens the state’s story by including new voices—among them\, runaway enslaved men who joined Iowa’s 60th Colored Regiment in the Civil War\, young female pearl button factory workers\, Latino railroad workers who migrated to the state in the early twentieth century\, and recent refugees from Southeast Asia and the Balkans. \nThis program is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:The History of Blues in America with Joey Leone
DESCRIPTION:In the spirit of Ken Burns’ breakout PBS documentary series on American country music\, acclaimed guitarist and music historian Joey Leone presents “The History of Blues in America\,” a one hour program covering the history\, influence and social impact of American blues music through songs\, stories and historical facts. Joey highlights the influence of blues on virtually all styles of contemporary music over the past 7 decades playing a variety of songs on multiple guitars from his personal collection. In addition to the live music segments\, he touches on recurring themes of how the blues transcended racial boundaries\, brought people together in times of celebration and times of healing\, and how the blues followed the migration of African Americans from the rural south to the urban north. Joey also ties in his upbringing in Brooklyn NY\, and how important the Public Library System was for his discovery\, passion\, and education about music and music history. A lifelong career musician\, he has toured and recorded as a guitar player for many high profile artists including Etta James\, The Coasters\, Sam & Dave\, Wilson Pickett\, Chaka Khan\, and many more. Joey truly believes in the unifying and healing power of music\, which comes through during this inspiring and delightful program.

SUMMARY:An Evening with J. Ryan Stradal: Council Bluffs Public Library Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:J. Ryan Stradal is the author of Kitchens of the Great Midwest—his impressive debut novel that spent three weeks on the New York Times Extended List and was featured on the L.A. Times\, IndieBound\, Amazon\, and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists. \nKitchens of the Great Midwest delves into the American heartland\, sweeping the vast landscapes of Lutheran church bake-offs\, chili-pepper eating contests\, and the opening of deer season to capture the zeitgeist of the Midwest and the rise of foodie culture. It is a book about the family you lose\, the friends you make and the chance connections that can define a life. \nStradal is a popular speaker with libraries and universities\, sharing personal stories about growing up in the Midwest\, the culinary traditions that inspired his book\, and his unusual path to becoming a bestselling writer. \nIn addition to his novel\, Stradal has some great literary credentials\, editing the fiction section of The Nervous Breakdown and working as an editor for the Los Angeles-based independent publisher Unnamed Press. His writing has also appeared in The Wall Street Journal\, The Guardian\, The Rumpus\, The Los Angeles Review of Books\, and McSweeney’s: The Goods\, among other places. Stradal’s newest book\, The Lager Queen of Minnesota\, is a novel about an American family that is full of humor\, heart – and the secrets of making a world class beer. \nBorn and raised in Minnesota\, he now lives in Los Angeles and has worked as a TV producer\, notably for the History Channel’s Ice Road Truckers and Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch.
