Stewart DESCRIPTION:The Democracy We Must Keep: Why the Ideas that Built America Still Matter with David O. Stewart\nAward-Winning Historian and Bestselling Author of Impeached and The Summer of 1787\nTuesday\, September 1st 2026 at 1:00 PM CST\nRegister now for your private live link or find the recording after the event here: https://libraryc.org/danvillepubliclibrary/195300 \nJoin us as we chat with award-winning historian David O. Stewart about his newest work\, The Democracy We Must Keep\, and the question he explores throughout the book: What did America’s founders say about democracy\, and can we remain true to their vision for America? \nTwo hundred fifty years ago\, passionate men attempted to create something the world had never seen before: a nation built not on kings or armies\, but on ideas where the people ruled. \nIn The Democracy We Must Keep\, historian David O. Stewart takes readers inside the nine key documents that shaped the formation of the United States—from Patrick Henry’s thunderous cry for liberty to the carefully crafted design of a government chosen by the people\, with limits on all officials holding power under the Constitution. \nThrough the words of seven visionary founders—Washington\, Jefferson\, Madison\, Hamilton\, Gouverneur Morris\, and others—Stewart shows how a fragile experiment in self-government took shape. \nThese men were not saints. They argued passionately. They worried that the new nation might fall apart. Yet together\, they forged the principles that must still define American democracy: \n\nPower must be limited.\nLeaders must answer to the people.\nIndividual rights must be protected by law.\n\nAs the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary\, The Democracy We Must Keep urges readers to rediscover core ideas that built the nation—and to consider what it will take to protect them. \nRegister today to gain a deeper understanding of how American democracy started\, why it still matters\, and the active role each generation must play to uphold it. \n  \nAbout the Author:  \nDavid O. Stewart has published eleven award-winning and best-selling books of history and historical novels. In 2023\, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Washington Independent Review of Books. His most recent fictional series\, the Overstreet Saga\, is inspired by family stories his mother told. He lives in Maryland with the light of his life\, Nancy Floreen; they have three children and six grandchildren. \n  \nAll events are free and open to the public.  For more information or to register for the author talks\, visit https://libraryc.org/danvillepubliclibrary or call 217-477-5220.\nQuestions?

Blending history and personal memoir\, Larry Lankton pays homage to the automobile\, arguably the most important technological object of twentieth-century America. The omnipresence of cars shaped popular culture during the Golden Age of American prosperity and featured prominently in Lankton’s own coming-of-age memories of family life and teenage (mis)adventures—especially his 1964 GTO. Told in vivid detail\, Lankton’s recollections and his attention to the historical impact of the car industry of the 1950s and 1960s demonstrate how much boomers\, and the generations that follow\, owe to the American automobile. \n  \nAbout the Author:\nLarry Lankton is professor emeritus of history at Michigan Technological University. His scholarly career focused on the history of mining\, technological development\, and labor in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. His book Cradle to Grave: Life\, Work\, and Death at the Lake Superior Copper Mines won a Great Lakes History Prize. Lankton is also the author of Hollowed Ground: Copper Mining and Community Building on Lake Superior\, 1840s–1990s (Wayne State University Press). \n“I moved from Jackson\, Michigan\, to Danville in January\, 1962\, and graduated from Danville High in 1965. MOTOR CITY BOOMER is a very personal memoir of my high school years when my friends and I cruised Vermilion Street in the first muscle car\, a 1964 Pontiac GTO.. We did some pretty stupid things\, but we all survived. “American Graffiti” is perhaps the best car movie of all time. In its honor\, the penultimate chapter of my new book is titled ‘Danville Graffiti.’” -Larry Lankton \n  \nThe Library is committed to making programs accessible to all.

Join us as we sit down with master storyteller Daniel Kraus\, winner of the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction\, to celebrate the release of his breathtaking new novel\, The Sixth Nik. \n  \nDeep into space\, far past the triworld outposts\, beyond range of the lethal trollbot internet\, soars The Sickness: a ship woven from biomatter and capable of reacting to every need of its human crew. Sisilla\, a nine-year-old cultist with a brain enhanced by arcane tech known as “niks\,” has boarded to investigate the enigma of FĂ©m—a plague-riddled planet that has abruptly gone rogue. \n  \nThe mysterious crew includes a faceless assassin\, a beautiful engineer jigsawed by plastic surgery\, a peyote-addicted medic\, and—most lethal of all—a rugged\, NonModded captain with a score to settle with Sisilla. Other dangers abound. A hacked robot begins to believe Sisilla is its daughter. The Sickness itself is mutating\, possibly even pregnant. And the secret of FĂ©m is more horrific than anyone could have imagined. To survive\, Sisilla will need to forsake her predetermined fate and embrace the unknown. \n  \nRegister now to gain exclusive insight from one of the most visionary voices in modern fiction. \n  \nAbout the Author: \n  \nDaniel Kraus is a Pulitzer Prize-winning\, New York Times bestselling writer of novels\, TV\, and film.
