Anime Club: Fooly Cooly
Saturday, January 5, 2:30 pm
Naota Nandaba is an ordinary sixth grader living in a city where nothing amazing ever seems to happen. After his brother Tasuku leaves town to play baseball in America, Naota takes it upon himself to look after everything Tasuku left behind—from his top bunk bed to his ex-girlfriend Mamimi Samejima, who hasn't stopped clinging to Naota since Tasuku left.
Little does Naota know, however, that his mundane existence is on the verge of being changed forever: enter Haruko Haruhara, a Vespa-riding, bass guitar-wielding, pink-haired psychopath whose first encounter with Naota leaves him with tire tracks on his back and a giant horn on his head. Though all he wants is some peace and quiet, when Haruko takes up residence at his parents' home, Naota finds himself dragged into the heart of the greatest battle for supremacy that Earth—and quite possibly the entire universe—has ever seen.

Lecture: The Clash of Fundamentalism and Spirituality
Join us for this two-hour, multimedia lecture presentation. There is a growing schism forming in the world’s religious landscape, a split between two powerful perspectives, fundamentalism and spirituality. “Fundamentalism” is the term commonly applied to conservative religious movements that seek a return to “fundamentals,” such as Fundamentalist Christianity or Wahhabi Islam. Three key components of fundamentalism are scriptural literalism, rigid adherence to ancient codes, and a longing to return to an idealized past where everything was better and purer than it is now. “Spirituality” on the other hand is commonly used to describe a mode of being where the sacred or the divine speaks to each of us individually through the authority of our own inner experience, here and now. These two perspectives are clashing as never-before, and the project of coming to a deeper understanding of both is growing more urgent by the day. Until we better understand the underlying principles of these two positions, any talk of healing this rift if futile. Presented by Peter Balland, BA in Religious Studies from University of California at Santa Barbara, MA in philosophy San Diego State. Has been a professor at Southwestern.

Saturday Book Club: Where the Water Goes by David Owen
Saturday, January 12, 1 pm
An eye-opening account of where our water comes from and where it all goes.
The Colorado River is an essential resource for a surprisingly large part of the United States, and every gallon that flows down it is owned or claimed by someone. David Owen traces all that water from the Colorado’s headwaters to its parched terminus, once a verdant wetland but now a million-acre desert. He takes readers on an adventure downriver, along a labyrinth of waterways, reservoirs, power plants, farms, fracking sites, ghost towns, and RV parks, to the spot near the U.S.–Mexico border where the river runs dry.

Saturday, January 12th 9-1 Difficult Conversations: The Art and Science of Living Together (advanced registration)
In today’s political climate, people are concerned about negative consequences if they speak their minds. They are worried how others might react or not like them when they share their concerns. Some say that our nation is fractured and this strain has spilled over onto our dinner tables. If we don’t attempt to talk about tough topics, the nation will not change or the division could become worse.
As a remedy, the Coronado Library is hosting a workshop: Difficult Conversations: The Art and Science of Living Together. It will be held on Saturday, January 12th from 9am-1pm. Facilitated by Kern Beare, founder of Pop the Bubble, a non-profit initiative to help heal our national and global divide.
If you would like to attend, please send an email to ehauser@coronado.lib.ca.us so we know how many participants we will have. The workshop is free and open to the public—we just need you to sign up ahead of time.
The 4-hour workshop will be held in the Winn Room. Refreshments will be served. This important workshop is sponsored by the Friends of the Coronado Library. To learn more, visit www.popthebubble.org or call the library at 619-522-7390.

Mystery Book Club: The Cold Dish by Craig Johnson
Monday, January 14, 2 pm
Fans of Ace Atkins, Nevada Barr and Robert B. Parker will love this outstanding first novel, in which New York Times bestselling author Craig Johnson introduces Sheriff Walt Longmire of Wyoming’s Absaroka County. Johnson draws on his deep attachment to the American West to produce a literary mystery of stunning authenticity, and full of memorable characters. After twenty-five years as sheriff of Absaroka County, Walt Longmire’s hopes of finishing out his tenure in peace are dashed when Cody Pritchard is found dead near the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. Two years earlier, Cody has been one of four high school boys given suspended sentences for raping a local Cheyenne girl. Somebody, it would seem, is seeking vengeance, and Longmire might be the only thing standing between the three remaining boys and a Sharps .45-70 rifle.
