The Shark Is Broken
?It?s 1974 and filming is delayed on the set of Jaws. Days turn into weeks and the three starring actors are cooped up on the Orca, while the fourth character, ?Bruce,? the mechanical shark, is broken. Amidst foul weather and sometimes fouler tempers, the actors pass the time drinking, gambling and sharing stories as fragile egos come charging, then devoured and spit out creating a dynamic, comic chaos. We celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jaws, Hollywood?s first summer blockbuster. Contains strong language and mature content.

NDL is pleased to offer a monthly virtual Author Talk series that you can enjoy from the comfort of your home. All author talks are held online and registration is required through the Library Speakers Consortium (LSC)to receive the watch link.

The stories in Nuestra América cover each figure's cultural background and childhood, and their accomplishments or contributions to American history. A glossary of terms and discussion question-filled reading guide, created by the National Museum of the American Latino, encourages further research and exploration. The museum has featured twenty-three of these stories in its exhibition ¡Presente! A Latino History of the United States, the first exhibition to feature U.S. Latino history at the national level. Featuring beautifully illustrated portraits by Gloria Félix, this is a book that children (and adults) will page through and learn from again and again. A must have for every school and home library to help students understand the American story!
