New York Times bestselling author discusses and signs his newest novel.

6:00pm - 8:00pm
  • Location: Fort Knox BARR Library
  • Time: 6:00pm - 8:00pm

Barr Library welcomes both page-turning thriller writer Steve Berry and master of  urban fiction Eric Jerome Dickey in April. Berry will appear Thursday, April 14, 6 PM,  and Dickey will appear Friday, April 22, 12 PM. A limited number of complimentary  copies of the authors’ titles will be available to Soldiers in uniform at the respective  events.

 

What happens if both the president and vice-president die before taking the oath of office? That’s the intriguing question behind The 14th Colony, Berry’s new novel featuring former federal agent turned bookseller Cotton Malone. Pressed into service by his former boss, Malone must locate and stop a former KGB mastermind who is bent on plunging the United States into chaos.

Berry, a former attorney, is the New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author of 10 Cotton Malone adventures, four stand-alone thrillers, and four novellas. His books have appeared in 51 countries in 40 languages and he has more than 20 million books in print.

His first Cotton Malone thriller, The Templar Legacy, was named one of the top 100 thrillers ever written in an NPR survey. Dickey’s new novel, The Blackbirds, tells the story of four best friends who will go to the ends of the earth for one another. As the young women struggle with their own demons and desires, they find themselves and their friendship tested. Dickey has been praised by publications as varied as The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Publishers Weekly and USA Today and was named the winner of Best Contemporary Fiction and Author of the Year (Male) at the 2006 African American Literary Award Show.

Dickey is also the author of a six issue Marvel comic book miniseries featuring The X-Men’s Storm and the Black Panther.

Copies of both authors’ books will be available for purchase at their events. For further information, contact the Library at (502) 624-1232, visit barrlibrary.org, barrlibrary.mobi or on the Library’s Facebook page.

In this webinar former sociology students will share how a degree in sociology shaped their career path and how sociological principles are employed in their positions on a daily basis. The presenters include three young professionals who began their careers with a BA in sociology.  Sushama Rajapaksa, a research associate and Alexis Mesko, a probation officer, are both featured in the booklet "21st Century Careers with an Undergraduate Degree in Sociology, 2nd Edition.” David Deloach, a surgical consultant at an ophthalmology practice in Orlando, is a recent graduate of the University of Central Florida. Their comments and advice to sociology students will be supplemented by Dr. Mary Senter, Professor of Sociology at Central Michigan University, who will be presenting national data about sociology majors and their career trajectories. In addition, Professor Senter will suggest ways in which students can use information from the surveys to assist them in their job search efforts. There will be ample time reserved for Q&A

We encourage you to bring students together as a group for viewing. Last year we held a similar webinar and some departments chose to either gather in a computer lab (each registering individually), or participate in more of a classroom setting using one computer, a projector and a speakerphone.

The latest installment of the Living History at Your Library series focuses on Kentucky native and American president Abraham Lincoln with “I, too, am a Kentuckian” on Tuesday, April 26 at 6PM.

Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865), as portrayed by Jim Sayre, was born in what is now LaRue County, Kentucky, and lived in the state for much of his early childhood. When he was 7, his family moved to Indiana partially due to his father’s aversion to slavery.

After moving away from Kentucky, Lincoln still retained ties to the state. Lincoln eventually became part of a law firm in Springfield, Illinois, where he had a law partner named William Herndon from Green County, Kentucky. Lincoln’s best friend, Joshua Speed, also hailed from Kentucky being the son of the prominent Louisville Speed family. However, the most notable Kentucky link of Lincoln is that of his wife, Mary Todd, the daughter of a well- known Lexington family.

With all of Lincoln’s connections to Kentucky, he made frequent trips to Kentucky visiting his in-laws and the Speed family. Additionally, Lincoln cited the Kentucky statesman Henry Clay as his political hero.

Nonetheless, while Lincoln served as president during the Civil War he was unpopular among Kentuckians. Despite that, his statement “I, too, am a Kentuckian” held truth. Abraham Lincoln has gone down in history as one of the most important individuals in American history - a panel of historians named him the most influential American to ever live.

The event is part of the ongoing Living History at Your Library series and is sponsored by the Kentucky Humanities Council, an independent, non-profit corporation affiliated with the National Endowment for the Humanities. Future installments will feature, among others Daniel Boone and George Rogers Clark.

For more information about the event, contact the Library at (502) 624-1232.
