Join Flower Memorial Library and internationally bestselling author Ellen Marie Wiseman for an online Author Talk and Q&A about THE ORPHAN COLLECTOR, her astonishingly timely new novel set in Philadelphia during the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic.

A story of hope and resilience, THE ORPHAN COLLECTOR follows a young German immigrant in Philadelphia struggling to protect her family at a time when more Americans were dying in our nation’s streets and homes than on the battlefields of WWI. Making the agonizing decision to leave her baby brothers alone while she ventures into the eerily deserted city in search of food, Pia Lange isn’t aware that she herself will soon fall dangerously ill. She doesn’t know that after waking in a makeshift hospital, she’ll be forced into an orphanage, and even as she runs away to find her brothers, an evil woman who is perhaps a greater threat than the virus itself will plot to keep them separated…Powerful, harrowing, and ultimately exultant, THE ORPHAN COLLECTOR is a story of love, resilience, and the lengths we will go to protect those who need us most.

At this moment in time, it’s a strange comfort to read about how America survived the last major global pandemic in 1918. The Spanish Flu ended up killing more people than any other illness in recorded history, including the Black Death in the 14th century and AIDS in the 20th century. It was undoubtedly terrifying, but reading THE ORPHAN COLLECTOR also highlights how far we’ve come and how much more capable we are to deal with the current virus.

During this virtual event, Ellen Marie Wiseman will discuss the parallels between her novel and today’s reality, the 1918 flu’s devastating impact on the immigrant population, the strange cures and preventive “medicines” used during that time (Formaldehyde tablets! Sugar cubes soaked in gasoline! Onions!), and the role of the Visiting Nurse Society of Philadelphia.

THE LATEST BOOK IN LOCAL RESIDENT TAS CRU'S BLUES DOGS SERIES

In this second book of the blues dogs trilogy Bad Dog Bubba is on a mission to form his all dog blues band.  Bubba enlists help from his blues-loving buddy Scooter and Bclef, the bass playing gal  from his owner's blues band.  Bclef's experience and more important, her ability to talk dog will prove vital to making Bubba's dream a reality as will Scooter's upbeat energy and unleashed enthusiasm!  Bubba has proven himself to be a skilled songwriter but does he have what it takes to make and lead a band?

This book introduces a pack of new dog characters - all would-be blues dog recruits who need some convincing.  Bubba's sweetheart, Sylvia returns to play an important role as the story unfolds.   

Book three will showcase the band as it develops its repertoire of songs that Bubba writes about each of them.  These songs can be heard on the music album Doggone Blues, which is now available for purchase.

Did you know your local library has thousands of ebooks and audiobooks?

You can borrow them, instantly, for free, using just the device in your hand.

  North Country Library System patrons will now be able to access the entire catalog right from their smartphones. The App allows patrons to search for and reserve books across the system and manage their account. It can  act as a digital library card, as it is able to be scanned to check out books. The app has information on all 65 branches in the system, including hours and locations. The calendar feature, which sorts events by county, allows patrons to explore neighboring libraries. Our favorite feature is the ISBN scanner. If you see a book in a store you think you might like to read, scan the barcode on the book and it will tell you if it’s in our catalog. The North Country Library System app is available to download for free on Apple and Android devices.
