Two Harbors Public Library

The title selected for this year’s Duluth Area “One Book, One Community” program is The Cellist of Sarajevo, by Steven Galloway.  It is a wise and beautiful novel about war and the endurance of the human spirit and the subtle ways individuals reclaim their humanity, inspired by a real incident in the siege of Sarajevo.  There are a variety of programs and events planned related to the book, in Duluth and around the area.  Brochures will be available soon at Two Harbors and Silver Bay Libraries, or see the Programs and Events section of the Duluth Public Library web page.

The Two Harbors Library Afternoon Book Group has decided to make this title their March book, a change from the earlier plan.  The discussion will be Thursday, March 20 at 1 pm. (Note that the time has also changed.)

The Lake Isle of Innisfree
by W.B. Yeats

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee;
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.
