Multi-instrumentalist and Connecticut native Ian Campbell discovered his inner songwriter while adjusting to civilian life after five years in the military. He is the quintessential singer-songwriter with his heart on his sleeve, walking the line between spirituality and humanity. Honest lyrics combined with finger-style guitar, powerful piano, and soothing vocals create music that explores the deeper places but is always looking for the light. As an endorsed clinician for Ovation guitar, a director and teacher for the National Guitar Workshop, and a traveling singer/songwriter, Ian has honed the sound, communication, and experience of a powerful live performance. He is currently recording his 4th album.

The world premiere of “The Peace in the World” exhibit will be held at the Beekley during the months of June and July in the front entry foyer. Drawings from Children’s Art School No. 1 features 14 pieces of artwork from students, under the direction of Natalia Nikolaevna. Located in the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia, the school has nine classrooms and a variety of pre-professional programs in the fine arts including a five-year “Painting” and a three-year “Fundamentals of Drawing and Painting” course. With over 400 students and 18 teachers, the school that was established in 1940, is located on two floors of the most beautiful buildings in Ekiyat Children’s Center.
This exhibit has been held in the U.S. Embassy in Moscow since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, in February 2020. On March 18, 2021, the drawings were finally able to ship to Avon, Connecticut to prepare for its world premiere. Stop by during normal library hours to absorb the pieces.
This exhibit is sponsored by Fermata Arts Foundation, dedicated to promoting peace through arts and culture. The Beekley is the first to hold the exhibit, before it travels throughout the other New England states, including New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts, until January 2023.

It is April 1975, and Saigon is in chaos. At his villa, a general of the South Vietnamese army is drinking whiskey and, with the help of his trusted captain, drawing up a list of those who will be given passage aboard the last flights out of the country. The general and his compatriots start a new life in Los Angeles, unaware that one among their number, the captain, is secretly observing and reporting on the group to a higher-up in the Viet Cong.
The Sympathizer is the story of this captain: a man brought up by an absent French father and a poor Vietnamese mother, a man who went to university in America, but returned to Vietnam to fight for the Communist cause. A gripping spy novel, an astute exploration of extreme politics, and a moving love story, The Sympathizer explores a life between two worlds and examines the legacy of the Vietnam War in literature, film, and the wars we fight today.
To reserve a copy of the book for Curbside Pickup email vberlin@beekleylibrary.org.
The Beekley Book Club is a book discussion group that meets on the third Tuesday of each month
