From the library... Everyone at the Laurens County Library is a wee bit Irish in March as we celebrate the 58th Annual Dublin Laurens St. Patrick’s Festival. We can’t imagine a better way to celebrate than spending time perusing the library’s annual St. Patrick’s Used Book Sale on March 4th-17th. You probably won’t find a leprechaun with a pot of gold, but there are plenty of literary treasures to discover. March 18th is Super Saturday, and we’ll be closed. However, we encourage you to come and cheer for the library staff, who will be participating in the Dublin St. Patrick’s Parade. We hope to see you there as we celebrate the culmination of the festival and all of the day’s events! Also join us at the library’s Fantastic Futures: Dublin FanCon on March 25th. Although it’s a celebration of all things sci-fi and fantasy, don’t hesitate to let your inner leprechaun frolic. In addition to all of the library’s regular activities and programs, with over 40 events during this year’s festival, there is sure to be something to please everyone. Erin go Bragh!

American Comics: A Historyby Jeremy DauberThe sweeping story of cartoons, comic strips, and graphic novels and their century-long hold on the American imagination. Starting with the Civil War and cartoonist Thomas Nast, creator of the lasting images of Uncle Sam and Santa Claus, author Jeremy Dauber whizzes readers through comics' progress in the twentieth century and beyond: from the golden age of newspaper comic strips (Krazy Kat, Yellow Kid, Dick Tracy) to the midcentury superhero boom (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman); from the moral panic of the Eisenhower era to the underground comix movement; from the grim and gritty Dark Knights and Watchmen to the graphic novel's brilliant rise (Art Spiegelman, Alison Bechdel, Joe Sacco). Dauber's story shows not only how comics have changed, but how American politics and history have changed them. Throughout, he describes the origins of beloved comics, champions neglected masterpieces, and argues that we can understand how America sees itself through whose stories comics tell.
