The Community Library Book Club: “The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store”

The Community Library

The Community Library Book Club is hosted the first Wednesday of every other month and led by a diverse range of library staff. Books cover all genres from new fiction to classics to nonfiction, young adult, graphic novels, and everything in between. Register at www.comlib.org to join the club. The group meets in the Programs Studio, downstairs from the Children's Library. February's pick is "The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store" by James McBride. The discussion will be led by circulation manager Pam Parker. In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. "The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store" is available at The Community Library in multiple formats. Please come in or talk to our librarians about reserving a copy.

STRATA: JEFF JUHLIN

Hemmings Gallery

Juhlin has spent decades studying western landscapes, specifically the Great Basin and the high arid desert of the Kaiparowits Plateau in Southern Utah. His mixed media works consist of layers of paper, ink, paint and wax. "Although I don’t consider myself a landscape painter, I seek to reflect a sense of stillness, vast space and the visual history of time evident in the western landscape. My paintings allude to the raw typography and the amazing colors and light from where I live. In this environment, time often reveals itself in the form of rock strata that is both built up and worn away by the elements in a continuous process. Similarly in my work, I reveal layers of translucent strata composed of pigmented & cold wax, oil paint, paper and other media that are built up and worn away in the storied layers of the creative process." Please join us for Gallery Walk night on Friday, 2/16, from 5:00-7:30PM to celebrate the show.
