SUMMARY:Find Waldo Month!
DESCRIPTION:Looking for a free\, family-friendly summer activity?! The iconic children’s book character in the red-and-white-striped shirt and black-rimmed specs will be visiting twenty-five Takoma Park businesses throughout this July. Anyone who wishes to participate can pick up a “Find Waldo Local in Takoma Park!” stamp card at People’s Book\, which will contain the names of all the participating businesses. With each Waldo you spot\, you can get your card stamped or signed by the participating shop. Waldo has also misplaced his glasses in People’s Book\, so eagle-eyed hunters can find those as well!

SUMMARY:Joel Blecher for "Merits of the Plague"
DESCRIPTION:About the Book:\nThe preeminent meditation on plagues and pandemics from the Islamic world\, now in English for the first time. Six hundred years ago\, the author of this landmark work of history and religious thought—an esteemed judge\, poet\, and scholar in Cairo—survived the bubonic plague\, which took the lives of three of his children\, not to mention tens of millions of others throughout the medieval world. Holding up an eerie mirror to our own time\, he reflects on the origins of plagues—from those of the Prophet Muhammad’s era to the Black Death of his own—and what it means that such catastrophes could have been willed by God\, while also chronicling the fear\, isolation\, scapegoating\, economic tumult\, political failures\, and crises of faith that he lived through. But in considering the meaning of suffering and mass death\, he also offers a message of radical hope. Weaving together accounts of evil jinn\, religious stories\, medical manuals\, death-count registers\, poetry\, and the author’s personal anecdotes\, Merits of the Plague is a profound reminder that with tragedy comes one of the noblest expressions of our humanity: the practice of compassion\, patience\, and care for those around us. \n“Remarkable . . . A landmark work of history and religious thought . . . Surprisingly modern and has a lot to say to us in the era of coronavirus.” —History Unplugged Podcast\n\n\nAbout the Translator:\nJoel Blecher (editor/translator) is an associate professor of history at The George Washington University and the author of Said the Prophet of God: Hadith Commentary across a Millennium as well as numerous articles. His work has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the American Council of Learned Societies\, and the Library of Congress. He co-translated Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani’s Merits of the Plague with Mairaj Syed\, a professor of religion at UC Davis. \nEvent will be in person.
