Lise Lunge-Larson, award-winning author and storyteller, will be back by popular demand for a storytelling program at Redbery Books on Friday, February 26 at 10:30 a.m. Her book, The Race of the Birkebeiners is the story of the Birkebeiners, the "birchleggers," who saved the infant Prince Hakon by skiing across the mountains of Norway in the dead of winter in 1206. It is a story of bravery and tenderness. It is also the story that gave the name to "The Birkie" cross-country ski race that has been skied in northern Wisconsin since 1973. Lise was born in Norway "with skis on her feet — like all Norwegian babies." She came to the United States on a scholarship to attend Augsburg College. She had planned to stay for a year and return to Norway, but she ended up falling in love — both with her husband and with children's literature — and now lives in Duluth, Minn. She is passionate about stories and storytelling. "By living a life immersed in great stories, children will see that they have the resources needed to solve life's struggles,” she said. “And, while listening to these stories, children can rest for a while in a world that mirrors their own, full of magic and the possibility of greatness that lies within the human heart." Lunge-Larson will be in the Cable area to ski on the day of the American Birkebeiner and loves the opportunity to share her stories the day before the race. Children and adults typically sit spellbound and truly enjoy her sharing her gifts. Books will be available for signing. | ||

The Men's Discussion Group will be discussing Standing Next to History: An Agent's Life Inside the Secret Service by Joseph Petro with Jeffrey Robinson. The group will meet in the Rivers Eatery behind Redbery Books. Joseph Petro served for 23 years as a special agent in the United States Secret Service; eleven of them with presidents and vice presidents. For four of those years he stood by the side of Ronald Reagan. Following his career as a Navy Lieutenant, during which he patrolled the rivers and canals along the Vietnamese-Cambodian border, he worked his way up through the Secret Service to become one of the key men in charge of protecting the President. That journey through the Secret Service provides an individual look inside the most discreet law enforcement agency in the world, and a uniquely intimate account of the Reagan presidency. Engagingly, Joseph Petro tells "first hand" stories of: riding horses with the Reagans; eluding the press and sneaking the President and Mrs. Reagan out of the White House; rehearsing assassination attempts and working, then re-working every detail of the president's trips around the world; negotiating the president's protection with the KGB; diverting a 26 car presidential motorcade in downtown Tokyo; protecting Vice-President Dan Quayle at Rajiv Gandhi's funeral where he was surrounded by Yassir Arafat's heavily armed bodyguards; taking charge of the single largest protective effort in the history of the Secret Service-Pope John Paul II's 1987 visit to the United States; and being only one of three witnesses at the private meeting between President Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev that ushered in the end of the Cold War. Joseph Petro provides an original and fascinating perspective of the Secret Service, the inner workings of the White House and a little seen view of world leaders, as a man who stood next to history. | ||

The Highly Unusual Reading Society (T.H.U.R.S.) book club will be discussing Hannah's Dream by Diane Hammond. An elephant never forgets . . . but can she dream? For forty-one years, Samson Brown has been caring for Hannah, the lone elephant at the down-at-the-heels Max L. Biedelman Zoo. Having vowed not to retire until an equally loving and devoted caretaker is found to replace him, Sam rejoices when smart, compassionate Neva Wilson is hired as the new elephant keeper. But Neva quickly discovers what Sam already knows: that despite their loving care, Hannah is isolated from other elephants and her feet are nearly ruined from standing on hard concrete all day. Using her contacts in the zookeeping world, Neva and Sam hatch a plan to send Hannah to an elephant sanctuary—just as the zoo's angry, unhappy director launches an aggressive revitalization campaign that spotlights Hannah as the star attraction, inextricably tying Hannah's future to the fate of the Max L. Biedelman Zoo. A charming, poignant, and captivating novel certain to enthrall readers of Water for Elephants, Diane Hammond's Hannah's Dream is a beautifully told tale rich in heart, humor, and intelligence. | ||
