Library Tidings by Kevin Mittge Adult Services Librarian Siuslaw Public Library (541) 997-3134 Book Review “Stolen Beauty” by Laurie Lico Albanese From the dawn of the twenti- eth century to the devastation of World War II and beyond, “Stolen Beauty” by Laurie Lico Albanese, an exhilarating novel of love, war, art and family gives voice to two extraordinary women and brings to life the true story behind the creation and near destruction of Gustav Klimt’s most remarkable paint- ings. In the dazzling glitter of 1903 Vienna, Adele Bloch-Bauer — young , beautiful, brilliant, and Jewish — meets Gustav Klimt. Adele embraces Klimt’s rene- gade genius as the two awaken to the erotic possibilities on the canvas and beyond. Although they enjoy a life in which sex and art are just begin- ning to break through the façade of conventional society, the city is troubled by a disturbing increase in anti-Semitism. Nearly 40 years later, Adele’s niece Maria Altmann is a newly- wed when the Nazis invade Austria and overnight her beloved Vienna becomes a war zone. When her husband is arrested and her parents are forced out of their stately home, Maria must 5 A summon the courage and resilience that is her aunt’s lega- cy if she is to survive and keep her loved ones and their history alive. Impeccably researched and lushly rendered, “Stolen Beauty” intertwines the tales of two remarkable women across more than a hundred years. It juxtaposes passion and dis- covery against hatred and despair, and shines a light on our ability to love, destroy, and above all, to endure. Laurie Albanese has pub- lished fiction, poetry, journal- ism, travel writing, creative non- fiction, and more. tion. It’s an essential necessity for the impatient, emotionally dis- tanced and/or faraway, busy multitaskers, those unfamiliar with mental conditions and goal oriented people. It is perfectly all right to see yourself in that list. This book will help with acknowledging the presence of brain injury, soul searching about what you can contribute, offers resources, and helps make you feel better about yourself when someone with a brain injury enters your life.

Join Surfrider Foundation’s Oregon Policy Manager and members of the Siuslaw Chapter in celebrating 50 years of Oregon’s Beach Bill. A discussion about this groundbreaking legislation will be held on Monday, March 27, at 6:30 p.m., in the Bromley Room at the Siuslaw Public Library. The evening will feature a special presentation about this landmark legislation and how this year presents us with leg- islative opportunities to renew our investment in Oregon’s beach legacy. Oregon’s 362 miles of pub- lic ocean beaches are the sig- nature feature of the Oregon coast. Oregon beaches remain wild and rugged, due primarily to the 1967 Beach Bill legisla- tion, which forever granted public access and limiting development on our dry, sandy beaches. In this anniversary year cel- ebrate and advocate for contin- ued protection of Oregon’s coastal beach legacy. Whether an inland day-trip- per, weekend warrior or die- hard coastal resident, beaches are our birthright and a place of cultural, recreational and economic significance. Unfortunately, Oregon’s beaches face increasing prob- lems of visitor safety, access, increased marine debris, beachfront armoring, sand removal and a rising and expanding range of recreation- al uses. These issues are driven by growing tourism in all sea- sons, unabated demand for ocean front development, and increasingly severe storm and erosion events due to climate- driven changes in the ocean, all of which are likely to per- sist.
