Her job consists mainly of repairing and organizing books, but also of keeping an eye on restless stories that risk materializing as characters and escaping the library. When a Hero escapes from his book and goes in search of his author, Claire must track and capture him with the help of former muse and current assistant Brevity and nervous demon courier Leto.</span></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="6k223" data-offset-key="cqdj7-0-0"><div data-offset-key="cqdj7-0-0"><span data-offset-key="cqdj7-0-0"><br data-text="true"></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="6k223" data-offset-key="8o3dr-0-0"><div data-offset-key="8o3dr-0-0"><span data-offset-key="8o3dr-0-0"><span data-text="true">But what should have been a simple retrieval goes horrifyingly wrong when the terrifyingly angelic Ramiel attacks them, convinced that they hold the Devil's Bible. The text of the Devil's Bible is a powerful weapon in the power struggle between Heaven and Hell, so it falls to the librarians to find a book with the power to reshape the boundaries between Heaven, Hell ... and Earth. </span></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="6k223" data-offset-key="b1um9-0-0"><div data-offset-key="b1um9-0-0"><span data-offset-key="b1um9-0-0"><br data-text="true"></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="6k223" data-offset-key="3oiml-0-0"><div data-offset-key="3oiml-0-0"><span data-offset-key="3oiml-0-0"><span data-text="true">About the Author</span></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="6k223" data-offset-key="c4kqq-0-0"><div data-offset-key="c4kqq-0-0"><span data-offset-key="c4kqq-0-0"><span data-text="true">A. J. Hackwith is (almost) certainly not an ink witch in a hoodie. She's a queer writer of fantasy and science fiction living in Seattle, and writes sci-fi romance as Ada Harper. She is a graduate of the Viable Paradise writer's workshop and her work appears in Uncanny Magazine and assorted anthologies. Summon A.J. at your own peril with an arcane circle of fountain pens and classic RPGs, or you can find her on Twitter and other dark corners of the Internet.</span></span></div></div> 2019-12-26 19:00:00 -0600

Slow Art Day
<p>One day each year, people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly. Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and then meet together to talk about their experience. Simple by design, the goal is to focus on the art and the art of seeing. Participants are encouraged to take notes or make sketches (with pencil) of the artworks. At the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, we suggest visitors who wish to participate in Slow Art Day to look at the selected works between 10 am and noon and then to meet at noon in the Carnegie Library Wing of the CRMA. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunch for this time. Associate Curator of Collections and Exhibitions Kate Kunau will facilitate the discussion. Free with paid museum admission.</p> 2019-12-30 13:00:00 -0600
