News of the World by Paulette Jiles
Monday, April 25 at 1:00 PM
Wheeler Room
 
In 1870, Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd is asked to deliver a 10-year-old German girl back to her relatives in San Antonio in exchange for $50 in gold, he agrees. Johanna’s parents had been killed by the Kiowa, but she was spared and was raised as one of their own for four years. Facing a 400-mile journey filled with threats of ambush and an uncooperative charge, Captain Kidd wonders if his choice to deliver the girl was the right one.

Repair Clinic
Saturday, April 30 at 10:00 AM
 
Repair cafes and fix-it clinics are popping up all over the country as a natural successor to the maker movement. They use the practical application of tinkering to discover common problems with household items to reuse them rather than send them to the landfill. Join the York Public Library and our community of local fixers to learn how to restore your small appliances, fix your old clothes, revitalize your garden, restore your cast iron skillets,  get your rusty bicycle moving again, and more. This program is staffed by community volunteers and they will give their best effort to help you fix your item. If they are unable to help you fix it, someone will be on hand to show you how to recycle it. Please bring any materials you need to fix your item (buttons, fabric patches, bike tires, etc.).
 
Registration not required but appreciated!
Closed on Friday, April 29
 
York Public Library will be closed on Friday, April 29, for a staff in-service day. We'll reopen on Saturday April 30 at for our normal 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM schedule.
