Author Appearance
Join us on Wednesday, June 14 for a special reading from author Jim Minick from his new book, "Without Warning"!
Without Warning: The Tornado of Udall, Kansas: On May 25th, 1955, an F5 tornado struck Udall, Kansas at 10:35 PM. There was no warning. In roughly three minutes, it destroyed most of the buildings, toppled the water tower, and killed 82 people. The Udall tornado was—and still is—the worst in the history of Kansas. Without Warning: The Tornado of Udall, Kansas tells the story of this town’s destruction and rebuilding through the eyes of those who survived, and this story also provides insights into how we might move forward into our climate changed future. More information about the book can be found here: Without Warning : Nebraska Press (unl.edu)
"WITHOUT WARNING is a page-turning disaster narrative in the tradition of THE PERFECT STORM and ISAAC’S STORM: spare, vivid, suspenseful, meticulously researched, utterly harrowing. But the havoc an F5 tornado wrecked on this quintessential Kansas small town in the spring of 1955 is only part of the story here. By taking the arc all the way from the calm before the storm to the months-long labor of rebuilding and reanimating, Jim Minick has brought an entire community lovingly to life. At heart, this is a book about how what’s best about our country confronts and overcomes the worst of our weather." - David Laskin, author of THE CHILDREN’S BLIZZARD and THE FAMILY
Jim Minick is the author or editor of eight books, including Without Warning: The Tornado of Udall, Kansas (nonfiction), The Intimacy of Spoons (poetry, forthcoming), Fire Is Your Water (novel), and The Blueberry Years: A Memoir of Farm and Family. His work has appeared in many publications, including the New York Times, Poets & Writers, Oxford American, Orion, Shenandoah, Appalachian Journal, Wind, and The Sun. He serves as Coeditor of Pine Mountain Sand & Gravel.

Beginning Mah Jongg
Would you like to join our Mah Jongg group at the library but don't know how to play? If you have been curious about this addictive game, here is your chance to try it out! We are now offering a four-part training session every month on first four Thursdays at 10:00 am. You will be glad you had the time to practice before coming to our regular weekly sessions!
One of the tools needed to play this game is a “Game Card” which can be purchased at the front desk at the library for $14.00. Please have this card with you for week 1.
Location: The Learning and Book Sale Center at 45 W. Allen St., Mechanicsburg
The first two sessions will be held separately from the main group with four new players and a trainer, so you can all learn the basics of the game. The next two sessions will be with the Mah Jongg group, but still playing with the trainer. We hope these extra training sessions will give everyone the opportunity to come on board to be a regular player!
Registration: Please register online for the training sessions. If registration is full, you may add your name to the waitlist.
Questions? Email Joelene or call 766-0171.
