Before she could write, she began dreaming up stories. Starting with recorded conversations for her dolls on a Fisher-Price cassette player, she moved on to an antique typewriter found at a garage sale, then an electric typewriter, and finally computers. It wasn’t until she picked up romance novels in her late twenties that she found where she belonged. With the help of her husband, she carves out time to write while raising five children, working full time and obsessing over her laundry list of eccentric passions. Every new obsession seems to find its way into her romance world!</span></span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p> 2019-02-08 19:00:00 -0600

Willard L "Sandy" Boyd reads from his new memoir "A Life on the Middle West's Never-Ending Frontier"
<p>University of Iowa legend Willard L. "Sandy" Boyd will read from and discuss his new book, "A Life on the Middle West's Never-Ending Frontier", from University of Iowa Press. Sandy Boyd’s decades of service to the University or Iowa began in 1954, when he arrived as a law professor. He served as president of the University of Iowa from 1969 to 1981. He then served as President of the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago from 1981-1996. he returned to Iowa to teach in the College of Law in 1996, serving as the interim president of the College of Law between 2002-2003, then returned to teaching as the Rawlings-Miller Professor of Law.</p><p>His new memoir, interspersed with personal wisdom gleaned over more than six decades of service and leadership, encapsulates Boyd's shrewd yet optimistic view of the public university as an institution. At every stage in his life--in the U.S. Navy during World War II, while practicing law or teaching, and in leadership positions at Chicago's Field Museum and the University of Iowa-- Boyd relied on his principles of open disclosure, inclusiveness, and respect for differences to guide him on issues that matter.</p><p>This memoir provides a lens through which to examine our present situation, whether debating free speech on campus, the role of the arts and humanities in civil society, or the importance of funding for educational and cultural institutions.</p><p>This event is sponsored by Prairie Lights and the Iowa City Public Library. Copies of the book will be available at the event, and Professor Boyd will have a short signing at the end of the event.</p> 2019-07-09 16:00:00 -05007/28/192:00 p.m.Iowa City Public LibraryIowa City -

Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe
<p>Vince Neil, the legendary front man of Mötley Crüe, is an international superstar whose unmistakable voice leads some of the greatest rock songs of a generation including “Wild Side,” “Shout at the Devil,” “Home Sweet Home,” “Girls, Girls, Girls,” “Dr. Feelgood,” “Kickstart My Heart,” “Same Ol’ Situation,” and many others.</p><p>Mötley Crüe’s epic 34-year run included countless multi-platinum releases, more than 22 hit singles, 100 million albums sold and dozens of global tours with sold out arenas, inclusive of some of the largest venues in the world. The band completed “The Final Tour” on New Year’s Eve 2015, closing the book that told the story of their iconic career. Despite Mötley Crüe’s departure from the rock world, however, Vince Neil shows no sign of slow down, continuing to carry on with the unending “The Legacy Continues Tour.”</p><p>In January of 2017, Vince Neil was back in the TV spotlight, as a contestant on NBC’s <em>The Celebrity Apprentice</em>, featuring new host Arnold Schwarzenegger. Currently, Neil continues to tour and perform all the classic Mötley Crüe hits with select cuts from his three solo albums. Mötley Crüe’s seemingly unfilmable group autobiography, The Dirt, will finally come out as a biopic via Netflix March 22, 2019.</p> 2019-01-21 21:30:00 -0600

Book Club: Here, There Be Dragons by James A. Owen

Stop by or call today to secure your copy.<br><br>This event is part of our Prima's Pick Summer Reading Program. Author Rachel Caine will be joining us via Skype to discuss the book.<br><br>About the Book<br>An unusual murder brings together three strangers, John, Jack, and Charles, on a rainy night in London during the first World War. An eccentric little man called Bert tells them that they are now the caretakers of the Imaginarium Geographica -- an atlas of all the lands that have ever existed in myth and legend, fable and fairy tale. These lands, Bert claims, can be traveled to in his ship the Indigo Dragon, one of only seven vessels that is able to cross the Frontier between worlds into the Archipelago of Dreams. <br><br>Pursued by strange and terrifying creatures, the companions flee London aboard the Dragonship. Traveling to the very realm of the imagination itself, they must learn to overcome their fears and trust in one another if they are to defeat the dark forces that threaten the destiny of two worlds. And in the process, they will share a great adventure filled with clues that lead readers to the surprise revelation of the legendary storytellers these men will one day become. <br><br>An extraordinary journey of myth, magic, and mystery, Here, There Be Dragons introduces James A. Owen as a formidable new talent.</p> 2019-06-23 19:00:00 -0500

Anam Cara Art Journaling at Prairiewoods
<p>As John O’Donohue writes, “<em>Anam</em> is the Gaelic word for soul and <em>cara</em> is the word for friend. So <em>anam cara</em> in the Celtic world was the soul friend.” In these four sessions, which stand alone, facilitator Angie Pierce Jennings will guide us to read and reflect on passages from O’Donohue’s deeply spiritual book <em>Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom.</em> We will use the process of art journaling as a creative way to further contemplate and explore the concepts of the book. Feel free to bring a journal or mixed media tablet, colored pencils and watercolor paints. (We will have some art supplies available.) Artists of all experience levels, including beginners, are welcome. Feel free to enjoy this as a series or individual sessions. Please register for each session by the previous Friday.
