Come and join us for a talk with local author and retired cardiologist Dr. Siegfried Kra!
Dr. Kra is a local Woodbridge resident who has published many books, including Twilight in Danzig and Nine Lives.
He and his family emigrated to New York after escaping the Gestapo. Siegfried then attended the Yale School of Medicine and treated thousands of patients during his half century of practice as a cardiologist.
Dr. Kra will be discussing his newest book, Dancer in the Garden, which is a collection of vivid stories from Dr. Kra’s life.
The Library will be closed Monday, February 20. We will open at 10 am on Tuesday, February 21.

Chicago, 1968. As the city and the nation are poised on the brink of political upheaval, suburban housewife Joy (Elizabeth Banks) leads an ordinary life with her husband and daughter. When Joy’s pregnancy leads to a life-threatening heart condition, she must navigate an all-male medical establishment unwilling to terminate her pregnancy in order to save her life. Her journey for a solution leads her to Virginia (Sigourney Weaver), an independent visionary fiercely committed to women’s health, and Gwen (Wunmi Mosaku), an activist who dreams of a day when all women will have access to abortion, regardless of their ability to pay. Joy is so inspired by their work, she decides to join forces with them, putting every aspect of her life on the line.

Shop local, shop sustainable! The Friends will have beautiful books in barely used condition—and ideas for pairing suggestions to match your gifts. Example: a cookbook with a bottle of wine or a grow your own herbs kit, or a gardening book with a new plant or bulbs. There is a terrific anatomy book for sale, designed as a very sophisticated coloring book to learn anatomy by drawing. This could be paired with drawing pencils.
