Enjoy lots of spooky and hilarious moments in this far-out time travel tale, as the three kids cope with life in 1790, goblins, and how to find their way back home. </p><p><br></p>

If We Ran the Zoo: Animals in Children's Book Illustration
<p>If We Ran the Zoo: Animals in Children’s Book Illustration</p><p><em>October 6, 2018 – January 13, 2019</em></p><p>Stories about animals have always been a staple of children’s literature. One of the earliest known books aimed at children, the 17th century publication Orbis sensualium pictus, taught children the alphabet by mimicking animal noises. This trope continued in the early- and mid-20th century, called the Golden Age of children’s book illustration. Drawn from the Zerzanek Collection of Original Art from Children's Literature on loan to the CRMA from the Cedar Rapids Public Library, If We Ran the Zoo looks at the various ways animals have shaped children’s literature, from simple science books to loyal pets to fantastical, talking companions.</p><p>Image caption:</p><p>Audrey Chalmers, untitled drawing from <em>Birthday of Obash</em>, page 6, undated, charcoal on paper, 8 ½ x 9 11/16 inches, on loan from the Zerzanek Collection of the Cedar Rapids Public Library, L2009.0217.</p> 2018-10-21 16:00:00 -0500

Accidental Army Screening and Discussion
<p>It’s the most amazing story you never heard. In the chaos of World War I, tens of thousands of Czech and Slovak POWs switched sides to become an army fighting for the Allies: the Czechoslovak Legion. Suddenly, caught up in the Russian Revolution, they had to fight their way across Siberia, capturing the Trans-Siberian railway, half the Czar’s gold, and the heart of a new nation. Almost erased from history by 50 years of communism, this incredible story lives again in the film <em>Accidental Army: The Amazing True Story of the Czechoslovak Legion</em>.</p><p>The documentary’s creative director, Bruce Bendinger, will lead a discussion following the screening.</p><p><em>Sponsored by Sokol CR Gymnastics and Fitness Center</em></p> 2018-10-17 16:00:00 -0500
