A Boardwalk Story, a novel by J. Louis Yampolsky

A Boardwalk Story cover1939. The tenth year of the Great Depression in America. Europe teeters on the brink of war. In Atlantic City, New Jersey—a seashore resort town that springs to life every summer—Jack Laurel comes of age.

At 15, Jack’s life is turned upside down by an almost magical convergence of people and events. A mysterious boardwalk entertainer inspires a love of literature, a feud with neighborhood bullies escalates, and innocence is lost. Jack stumbles into commodities trading with two men: one a reclusive mystic, the other a charismatic pitchman and mathematical savant. The musings of a boardwalk fortuneteller set the three partners up to reap unimagined profits—but a house of cards is about to come down around them and, with it, the wrath of an iron-fisted crime boss.

“A rich, detailed visit to an Atlantic City that now exists only in memory. ...A Boardwalk Story tells a coming-of-age tale of equal parts charm and excitement, with a generous helping of danger that takes you by surprise.”

—Jim Waltzer, co-author, Tales of South Jersey, and author, Sound of Mind

A Librarian Takes on Oscars 2021: The Diversity We Deserve (From the Year That We Didn't)
by Jessica Hilburn
The 2021 Oscar nominations are here, and boy, do we have some things to talk about. As the dust settled on the 2020 Oscars ceremony, little did we know that the films of the year ahead were going to be seen from the comfort of our homes, or not at all, because of a global pandemic. Despite not being able to go to theaters for risk of potential death, 2020 managed to deliver countless truly great films, some of which were nominated by the mostly older, white male panel of Oscar voters for awards.
