Requests:  6 Summary:  "1918: As the Great War rages, Jessie Carson takes a leave of absence from the New York Public Library to work for the American Committee for Devastated France. Founded by millionaire Anne Morgan, this group of international women help rebuild devastated French communities just miles from the front. Upon arrival, Jessie strives to establish something that the French have never seen--children's libraries. She turns ambulances into bookmobiles and trains the first French female librarians. Then she disappears. 1987: When NYPL librarian and aspiring writer Wendy Peterson stumbles across a passing reference to Jessie Carson in the archives, she becomes consumed with learning her fate. In her obsessive research, she discovers that she and the elusive librarian have more in common than their work at New York's famed library, but she has no idea that their paths will converge in surprising ways across time. Based on the extraordinary little-known history of the women who received the Croix de Guerre medal for courage under fire, Miss Morgan's Book Brigade is a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, the power of literature, and ultimately the courage it takes to make a change"-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Ewa Beach P/S Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books Skeslien Charles Item being held   Add Copy to MyList Kaneohe Public Library Pop-Up Adult Fiction Skeslien Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Skeslien Checked out 06/01/2024 Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Fiction Skeslien Charles Checked out 06/07/2024 Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Fiction Charles Item being held   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
