Virtual Author Talk with Brad Taylor

Virtual Author Talk with Brad Taylor

Register and ask questions here. Join us in conversation with acclaimed author Brad Taylor on his latest work, Shadow Strike, book 20 (yes, you read that right!) of the bestselling Pike Logan series. After its proxies are devastated and its offensive capability pummeled in the latest war in the middle east, a rogue group of Iranian regime officials create a brazen plot to strike back at their hated enemies once and for all. They envision a series of operational dominos culminating in a devastating attack, and the first step is the assassination of the Israeli prime minister.  And there’s only one assassin with the skills to pull it off: Abdul Rahman, known in the shadows as the Ghost. When a routine prison transfer is ambushed, the Ghost escapes and is given the assignment. The only Operator who can hunt him down is the man who stopped him before: Pike Logan. Pike and his team soon learn that the mission involves something bigger than just the escape of his old enemy. Working with Mossad agents, the pursuit leads the Taskforce to Argentina. They work to unravel the scope of the attack, and the chase leads them through the tempestuous waterfalls of Iguazu and the Triple Frontier, to the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires, and the tiny village of Ushuaia at the “End of the World”. As the team races against the clock, Pike learns the stakes are much greater than a single life – the consequences extend into the heartland of America itself.

Afternoon Tea with Ida

Afternoon Tea with Ida

Register Here Why Afternoon Tea? Ida Day Holzapfel was extremely dedicated to the library during her time here. Her dedication and achievements had a long-lasting impact on the library and Hutchinson.  During her time at the library she and her assistants cataloged every single book for the first time, began outreach and home deliveries, moved the library to its current location at 9th and Main, and started the Bookmobile program. We’ve learned about her through stories passed down over time. Her dedication to the library could make her difficult to work with at times, especially if she felt her coworkers didn’t share her dedication to the library. Nonetheless, she cared very much for the library and the community it serves. She was described as a very proper woman and had afternoon tea at 3:00 PM every day with her employees. It’s very fitting to celebrate her 138th birthday with afternoon tea. Our library has continued to grow and provide vital services to Hutchinson, continuing the work she began over 100 years ago.  The programs and services we offer have grown substantially over the years while the cost to Hutchinson has remained low, something that has always been important to our mission. Celebrate with us by bringing your fanciest tea cup for afternoon tea on Monday, April 20th at 3:00 PM. A Brief History of Tea Time in Mid-Century America: Afternoon through the 1940s – 1950s in America was a lot different than tea time in the United Kingdom.  American afternoon tea...
