Warwick's, in partnership with Writer's Symposium by the Sea, will host Rick Steves as he discusses and signs the new paperback edition of his book, "On the Hippie Trail: Istanbul to Kathmandu and the Making of a Travel Writer." Since 1973, Rick Steves has spent about 100 days a year exploring Europe. His mission: to empower Americans to have European trips that are fun, affordable, and culturally broadening. A New York Times bestselling author, Rick produces a guidebook series, a public television series, and a public radio show, and he organizes small-group tours that take over 30,000 travelers to Europe annually. He does all of this with the help of more than 100 well-traveled staff members at Rick Steves' Europe in Edmonds, WA (near Seattle). When not on the road, Rick is active in his church and with advocacy groups focused on economic and social justice, drug policy reform, and ending hunger. What's the ideal vacation for a professional traveler? For Rick, it's to play his piano, relax at his family cabin in the Cascade Mountains, and spend time with family and friends at home in Edmonds. A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER—Now with a new preface and postscript! Stow away with Rick Steves for a glimpse into the unforgettable moments, misadventures, and memories of his 1978 journey on the legendary Hippie Trail. In the 1970s, the ultimate trip for any backpacker was the storied "Hippie Trail" from Istanbul to Kathmandu. A 23-year-old Rick Steves made the trek, and like a travel writer in training, he documented everything along the way: jumping off a moving train, making friends in Tehran, getting lost in Lahore, getting high for the first time in Herat, battling leeches in Pokhara, and much more. The experience ignited his love of travel and forever broadened his perspective on the world. This book contains edited selections from Rick's journal and travel photos with a 45-years-later preface and postscript reflecting on how the journey through Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and Nepal changed his life.

Introducing...Cinema Club! A new monthly program which includes a film screening followed by a community discussion for cinephiles and movie lovers interested in having thought-provoking conversations about cinema. This month's featured film is "Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)" (2021) in celebration of Black History Month. A powerful and transporting documentary—part music film, part historical record—created around an epic event that celebrated Black history, culture, and fashion. Over the course of six weeks in the summer of 1969, just 100 miles south of Woodstock, The Harlem Cultural Festival was filmed in Mount Morris Park. The footage was largely forgotten—until now. "Summer of Soul" shines a light on the importance of history to our spiritual well-being and stands as a testament to the healing power of music during times of unrest, both past and present. The feature includes concert performances by Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sly and the Family Stone, Gladys Knight & the Pips, and more. 1h 58m. Rated PG-13. Light refreshments provided. Held on the last Tuesday of every month at 5:30 p.m. Each February, San Diego Public Library honors Black History Month, by celebrating culture and community, and recognizing the achievements—as well as the continuing struggles—of Black Americans Visit: https://sandiego.librarymarket.com/event/cinema-club-461996
