SUMMARY:Meet the Author: Laurence Carter
DESCRIPTION:Mr. Carter will discuss his book “From Grief to Love”\, an honest and uplifting account of overcoming loss that offers solace and hope to anyone who has experienced bereavement. Q&A and book signing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter losing his wife\, Melitta\, to cervical cancer\, Laurence Carter embarked on a 4\,314-mile coastal walk around England and Wales.

Through poignant\, funny and heartwarming vignettes\, Carter takes readers along as he travels Britain’s beautiful coastline\, chronicling both his physical trek and emotional recovery. The BBC\, Bethesda Magazine and several other magazines and news sites reported on the author’s walk across England\, where he has raised funds for cancer research and advocated for cervical cancer prevention. \nMr. Carter\, who grew up in Brundall\, a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk\, now lives in Bethesda\, where he enjoys walking his dog\, running\, an occasional beer\, seeing his three adult children\, and strolling along the canal with his fiancée\, whom he met as a result of the walk. \nCopies of the book are available online through the Friends of the Library\, Montgomery County online book store. All proceeds from the sales of the book will go to charity.

SUMMARY:The Roots of Modern Bethesda Part I - "A Wide Place in the Road"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture with Hank Levine! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nHave you ever wondered how (and why) Bethesda came to be where and what it is today? In this hour-long program\, Hank Levine of the Bethesda Historical Society will take us through how\, between 1750 and 1920\, a fall line\, a ridge line\, a turnpike\, a trolley line\, rail lines\, automobiles and Chevy Chase set the stage for the development of Bethesda into the affluent suburb and urban center it is today. Join us in person to hear (and see) stories of early churches\, stores\, and real estate moguls; the time Bethesda was bypassed and almost died; the experimental animal farm that struck many as less than heaven scent; and the founding of our first neighborhoods. There will be lots of pictures\, and ample time for questions. \nCo-sponsored by Bethesda Metro Area Village and Connie Morella Library. Free and open to the public. BMAV is a volunteer-driven neighborhood nonprofit that works to build community connections among neighbors through social engagement and recruiting volunteers to help one another. Check out www.bmavillage.org for more information. \nQuestions about this program? Contact the Connie Morella Library 240-777-0970

SUMMARY:Bethesda Reads Book Discussion Club
DESCRIPTION:Interested in joining? The Book Club meets the second Thursday of each month from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm\, meeting room 2. We’ll talk over the book “Paradise” by Abdulrazak Gurnah. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe book chosen for this month’s discussion is “Paradise” by Zanzibar-born British writer\, winner of the Nobel prize in literature 2021\, Abdulrazak Gurnah. A coming-of-age historical fiction novel that illuminates the harshness and beauty of an Africa on the brink of colonization. Sold by his father in repayment of a debt\, twelve-year-old Yusuf is thrown from his simple rural life into complexities of pre-colonial urban East Africa\, a fascinating world in which Muslim black Africans\, Christian missionaries\, and Indians from the subcontinent coexist in a fragile\, subtle social hierarchy. Then\, just as Yusuf begins to comprehend the choices required of him\, he and everyone around him must adjust to the new reality of European colonialism. Through Yusuf’s eyes\, Gurnah depicts communities at war\, trading safaris gone awry\, and the universal trials of adolescence. \nCopies of this book are available at the check out desk\, while supplies last.
