How will you use our 3D printer?
Lance King uses it to make towers, cannons and more for the Star Wars: Legion tabletop game.
If you’re looking for resources to spark your creativity, you can visit Thingiverse, Tinkercad, My Mini Factory, Instructables or Shape Do for ideas.
We’ve hosted years worth of programs about the different Civil War Battles. But what happens after the battle?
What happens to the dead, wounded and captured? What happens to the ruined cities and farms?
Jessica Beam, a ranger at James A. Garfield National Historic Site, discusses what happens when the battle ends during our monthly Civil War lecture.
She explains how the Union, Confederacy, doctors, chaplains, families and even towns dealt with the enormous number of dead of wounded.
Our Civil War series continues at noon on Wednesday, July 11, at our Main Branch. The topic will be the history of the Medal of Honor.
By the way, if you’re interested in Civil War history, some other previous talks in our Civil War series can be viewed online in their entirety:
John “Derf” Backderf — the graphic novelist who wrote My Friend Dahmer, Trashed and the comic strip, The City — visited us earlier this month.
Derf also allowed us to interview him. He discussed:
Award-winning author J. Everett Prewitt joined us for our inaugural Northcoast Writers’ Showcase.
He discussed why he writes, how libraries have helped him and Literary Cleveland — a local nonprofit that offers classes and events for writers and readers.
Rebekah Frumkin, author of the spectacular The Comedown, visited our region earlier this month.
While here, she discussed what makes a story worthwhile to her, struggled to think of a single happy story that she enjoys, and explained how her philosophy degree helps her as a writer and storyteller.
If you’re looking for a reading recommendation, Frumkin also named books she loved so much that she wished she’d written them, including Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye, Zadie Smith’s White Teeth, Hanya Yanagihara’s The People in the Trees and James Hannaham’s Delicious Foods.
