City library starts the new season with a star-studded program!
The City Library recently enlivened the new season with a variety of events designed to stimulate public interest. The kick-off event took place in mid-October and offered a promising outlook for what the coming weeks and months will bring. A highlight is the visit of the renowned journalist Kerstin Kohlenberg on Tuesday, October 22nd, at 7:30 p.m., who will appear in the library with her book “The American Promise – the pursuit of happiness in a country at odds.” Tickets are available for 8 euros, both in advance and at the box office.
Kohlenberg, who has worked as a long-time correspondent for ZEIT in the USA, offers an in-depth analysis of social conditions in the United States. Particularly in the midst of the upcoming American presidential elections, she asks why the middle class in America has been under pressure for some time and how the erosion of this layer has progressed. Her talk is aimed at anyone who would like to learn more about the political and social dynamics during the 2024 US election year.
Diverse program for literature lovers
Another exciting event will take place on Thursday, November 14, 2024, when Maren Gottschalk will present her new novel biography “Beyond the Ngong Mountains”. This publication encourages you to think back to the well-known work “Out of Africa”, which became known through the film adaptation with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford. Gottschalk's book deals with the extraordinary life of the Danish author Tania Blixen, whose experiences in Africa are not only about love and loss, but also about the founding and disappearance of her own farm.
In addition, the popular TV presenter Tamina Kallert will come to the city library on Tuesday, November 26th, 2024 to read her book “And then the sea comes into sight - wonderful travel stories about leaving and arriving”. With her typical warm manner, she takes the listener into her entertaining travel stories, which tell of encounters with different cultures and natural phenomena. These events promise to promote the desire to travel even in the cold season and to open up new perspectives for listeners.
Tickets for all upcoming events are available in advance or at the city library box office. For further information and events, interested readers can visit the website www.stadtbibliothek-loerrach.de visit.
