The 2007 Fall Luncheon
NC State Professor of History William C. Harris
"Abraham Lincoln:
The Myth and the Reality "
November 12, 2007, 12:00 P.M., McKimmon Center
"Adopting a new approach to an American icon, an award-winning scholar reexamines the life of Abraham Lincoln to demonstrate how his remarkable political acumen and leadership skills evolved during the intense partisan conflict in pre-Civil War Illinois. By describing Lincoln's rise from obscurity to the presidency, William Harris shows that Lincoln's road to political success was far from easy-and that his reaction to events wasn't always wise or his racial attitudes free of prejudice. Harris opens a window on Lincoln's political ideas and influences and offers a fresh understanding of this complex figure."

 Angela Davis-Gardner Special Reading
February 26, 2006, 3:00 P.M.
Quail Ridge Books & Music
On February 26, 2006, the Friends of the Library and Quail Ridge Books and Music will cosponsor a special reading by NC State Associate Professor of English Angela Davis-Gardner, who will read from her latest novel, Plum Wine. Davis-Gardner has written two acclaimed novels, Forms of Shelter and Felice, as well as other stories and essays in literary journals. The Japan Foundation awarded her a fellowship to conduct research for her novel, Plum Wine, which is set in Japan. She received the Sir Walter Raleigh Award for fiction in 1992 and won a CHASS Outstanding Teaching Award and a University Outstanding Teaching Award.
 Lee Smith described Plum Wine as a "mystery that unfolds as beautifully, delicately, and ceremoniously as a lotus blossom. One of the most memorable novels I have read in many years." Rebecca Brown, author of Excerpts from a Family Medical Dictionary, noted that what "makes this book powerful is its commentary about the long-term effects of war, the inability of human beings to ever get over the past or to really understand each others' cultures, and the devastating consequences of American foreign policy."
Please join the Friends for a special Sunday afternoon with Angela Davis-Gardner. The event is free and open to the public, and no advance tickets are required. Directions to Quail Ridge Books & Music can be found at their web site.

Bob Dole To Discuss World War II Memoir on April 29
 Bob Dole will appear at NCSU's McKimmon Center on Friday, April 29 at 7:00 p.m. to discuss his new book, One Soldier's Story, A Memoir, on the sixtieth anniversary of his being wounded in World War II.
In One Soldier's Story, former United States Senator Bob Dole provides a moving account of his World War II service. It is an odyssey of tremendous courage, sacrifice, and faith. After the war and years of recovery, Dole went on to serve in the Kansas state legislature, the United States Congress from 1960 through 1968, and the Senate from 1968 through 1992. His wife, North Carolina native Elizabeth Dole, also has a distinguished career in public service and represents North Carolina in the United States Senate.
As a platoon leader in the famed 10th Mountain Division, Dole was gravely wounded in the Italian Alps just two weeks before the end of the war. Trying to rescue one of his men during a firefight against a fortified German position, Dole was hit with shrapnel across his right shoulder and back. Over the next three years, he lapsed in and out of a coma, lost a kidney, and lost the use of his right arm and most of the feeling in his left arm. He willed himself to live.
With insight and candor, Dole also focuses on the words and selfless deeds of countless American heroes with whom he served, including two fellow injured soldiers, Daniel Inouye and Phil Hart, who later joined him in the Senate. He speaks here not as a politician, but as a wounded GI who went on to become one of the nation's most respected statesmen.
This appearance is co-sponsored by the Friends of the Library and Quail Ridge Books and Music. Tickets are $5 for the general public. They are available at the door or in advance from the Friends of the Library and Quail Ridge Books and Music. NCSU students can pick up a free ticket at either location when they present their student ID. Quail Ridge Books and Music will provide a free ticket with the purchase of One Soldier's Story from its location on Wade Avenue or at the McKimmon Center on April 29.
For additional information, or to purchase a ticket, call the Friends of the Library at 515-2841

Presentation by Doug Stanton
The Friends of the Library of North Carolina State University will present
Doug Stanton, author of In Harm's Way: The Sinking of the USS Indianapolis and the Extraordinary Story of Its Survivors. The lecture is on Monday, May 12, 2003 at 7:30 p.m. at NC State's McKimmon Center.
On July 30, 1945 the USS Indianapolis, returning from its top-secret delivery of the atomic bomb to Tinian Island, was torpedoed in the South Pacific by a Japanese submarine. It was nearly four days and five nights before the Navy detected the survivors, who were struggling against shark attacks, the harsh elements of sun and sea, hypothermia and dementia. Of the 1,196 member crew only 317 survived, making this the worst naval disaster at sea in American history.
Drawing on extensive interviews with the survivors and members of the rescue team, as well as new information and US documents, Stanton tells the full story of the sinking and introduces readers to the courageous and heroic men who lived through it.
After the lecture Stanton will stay for a book signing. For more information, please call the Friends of the Library at (919) 515-2841. This event is free and open to the public. McKimmon Center is located on the corner of Western Blvd. and Gorman Street.
