A New Way of Thinking About Medicine and Healing
Start your new year with us as we chat virtually with journalist and author Julia Hotz about her book The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, Art, Service, and Belonging.
The Connection Cure combines diligent science reporting, moving patient success stories, and surprising self-discovery to help us discover the lasting and life-changing power of social prescribing.

Mojos, Mermaids, Medicine, and 400 Years of Black Women’s Magic
Join us for a lesson from feminist philosopher Dr. Lindsey Stewart as she shares about her book, The Conjuring of America: Mojos, Mermaids, Medicine, and 400 Years of Black Women’s Magic. The Conjuring of America tells the stories of the Black women who, for centuries, courageously practiced and passed down their traditions.
Their contributions can be seen from the traditional medicines that informed Vicks VapoRub and the rise of Aunt Jemima’s Pancake Mix, to the original magic of Disney’s The Little Mermaid (2023) and the true origins of the classic all-American blue jean. Register for the online event , Read the author's book for free with your library card , Watch past author talks, If you can't attend live, register anyway and you'll receive a recording of the talk!
The Library's online author talks are made possible thanks to the generous support of the Long Beach Public Library Foundation.
