The Super Guide to Becoming a Superhero
By Michael DeLorenzo Wednesday, September 22nd, 4:00pm Hopewell Train Station, 2 Railroad Place Free and open to the public Ever wonder what makes superheroes so special? In this debut book by one of our own Hopewell Elementary School teachers, Mike DeLorenzo, we find out just how powerful we each can be. This inspiration story leads readers young and old through the steps to becoming just as super as the heroes they grew up admiring. While teaching through a global pandemic Mike DeLorenzo became inspired by his students' love of picture books to draft his own. This led to the creation of his first picture book, The Super Guide to Becoming a Superhero. |

Twilight in Hazard: An Appalachian Reckoning
By Alan Maimon Wednesday, October 20th, 7:00pm Hopewell Train Station, 2 Railroad Place Free and open to the public From investigative reporter and Pulitzer Prize finalist Alan Maimon comes the story of how a perfect storm of events has had a devastating impact on life in small town Appalachia. Maimon provides a comprehensive analysis of the region's recent history - the devastating opiate crisis, the intense religious allegiances, the bitter, bareknuckled political rivalries, and the faltering attempts to emerge from a century-long coal-based economy. The era-defining events of the early 2000s provide the basis for an exploration of where the region and our country stand today. Eastern Kentucky is a microcosm for the state of the nation. Part of the Hopewell Public Library's Wednesday Night Out series. |
