 elevator&nbsp\;currently out of service and undergoing modernization repla
 cement. This program is held in the downstairs meeting room\, and it is on
 ly accessible by the stairs.</strong></em></p>\n<p>Join our friendly book 
 group! Each month we read either a non-fiction (first Wednesday at 3:30) o
 r fiction (third Wednesday at 3:30) selection. Titles are announced a mont
 h before\,and copies are available at the Circulaiton Desk. Discussion que
 stions are provided with the selection.</p>\n<p>"In 1928\, a young social 
 worker and hobby pilot named Amelia Earhart arrived in the office of Georg
 e Putnam\, heir to the Putnam &amp\; Sons throne and hitmaker\, on the hun
 t for the right woman for a secret flying mission across the Atlantic. A p
 artnership&mdash\;professional and soon otherwise&mdash\;was born.</p>\n<p
 >The Aviator and the Showman&nbsp\;unveils the untold story of Amelia&rsqu
 o\;s decade-long marriage to George Putnam\, offering an intimate explorat
 ion of their relationship and the pivotal role it played in her enduring l
 egacy. Despite her outwardly modest and humble image\, Amelia was fiercely
  driven and impossibly brave\, a lifelong feminist and trailblazer in her 
 personal and professional life. Putnam\, the so-called &ldquo\;PT Barnum o
 f publishing&rdquo\; was a bookselling visionary&mdash\;but often pushed h
 is authors to extreme lengths in the name of publicity\, and no one bore t
 hat weight more than Amelia. Their ahead-of-its time partnership supported
  her grand ambitions&mdash\;but also pressed her into more and more treach
 erous stunts to promote her books\, influencing a certain recklessness up 
 to and including her final flight.</p>\n<p>Earhart is a captivating figure
  to many\, but the truth about her life is often overshadowed by myth and 
 legend. In this cinematic new account\, Laurie Gwen Shapiro emphasizes Ear
 hart&rsquo\;s multifaceted human side\, her struggles\, and her authentic 
 aspirations\, the truths behind her brave pursuits and the compromises she
  made to fit into societal expectations. Drawing from a trove of new sourc
 es including undiscovered audio interviews\,&nbsp\;The Aviator and the Sho
 wman&nbsp\;is a gripping and passionate tale of adventure\, colorful chara
 cters\, hubris\, and a complex and a vivid portrait of a marriage that sha
 ped the trajectory of an iconic life." - <em>Publisher</em></p>\n<p>Read m
