Mary Ann Whitley, co-author of "Ohio Tales of the Titanic," will discuss the Ohio connection to the most famous maritime disaster in history.

She and co-author Janet White are both past trustees of the New Jersey-based Titanic International Society. To help tell their story they used previously unpublished letters and telegrams sent from the rescue ship RMS Carpathia. Copies of "Ohio Tales of the Titanic" will be available for sale and signing at this event.

Great Decisions in the Library - China and America: the New Geopolitical Equation
Led by Dr. Paul Schroeder

Where the United States has taken a step back from multilateral trade agreements and discarded the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), China has made inroads through efforts like the Belt and Road Initiative and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). What are Beijing’s geopolitical objectives? What leadership and political conditions in each society underlie growing Sino-American tensions? After a brief video, Dr. Paul Schroeder will lead a discussion and help to answer some of the complex questions surrounding U.S. relations with China.

Film - "Tom Horn" (1980) Directed by William Wiard
Presented by Terry Meehan

Tom Horn (Steve McQueen) was a frontiersman with two claims to fame: he helped track down and capture the Apache leader Geronimo, and he got into a fistfight with boxing champion Gentleman Jim Corbett (and lost). The screenplay is based on Horn’s autobiography. It’s hard to tell whether Horn was a western hero or an unrepentant outlaw, and McQueen’s complex portrayal perpetuates the mystery. Terry Meehan continues his series on Westerns of the 1980s, introducing each film with an original video, followed by audience reaction and a lively discussion.

Concert - Heather Pierson Acoustic Trio

The Heather Pierson Acoustic Trio is a rare bunch. They are three musicians from very different backgrounds, bringing their skills, quiet charm and down-to-earth honesty to bear on songs that bring to life the sounds of the streets of New Orleans and the valleys of Appalachia and everything in between. Not to mention what they jokingly call their traveling music store of instruments including a guitar, banjo, ukulele, melodica, cornet, dobro, fiddle, mandolin and a bass! Their recordings and live performances feature Heather’s multi‐genre songwriting, their instrumental virtuosity, and stirring three‐part vocal harmonies. You will be witnessing folk music magic with this performance.

Robert Manry was a middle-aged family man from Willowick. In 1965, he took a hiatus from his copy editor position at the Plain Dealer and secretly began a voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in a small boat named Tinkerbelle. Until he was halfway across, no one but family and close friends knew of his journey; he then became an international news story.
