An Evening with Ned Blackhawk
April 1, 2024
Join us for an evening with National Book Award Winner Ned Blackhawk, author of The Rediscovery of America: Native Peoples and the Unmaking of U.S. History. In his book, Ned Blackhawk interweaves five centuries of Native and non‑Native histories, from Spanish colonial exploration to the rise of Native American self-determination in the late twentieth century. Blackhawk’s retelling of U.S. history acknowledges the enduring power, agency, and survival of Indigenous peoples, yielding a truer account of the United States and revealing anew the varied meanings of America. Join us for a reception and book signing at 5 p.m. preceding the lecture at 6 p.m.

We’re thrilled to announce that on Saturday, April 6, we’re collaborating with Downtown Tulsa Partnership to host our first Magic City Book Bash!

And for over a decade we have given a space and a platform to over a thousand authors to share their books with our community. The Magic City Book Bash will be a celebration of the Tulsa literary magic for which we are named. It will be held from 10:00am to 3:00pm along Archer Street between Martin Luther King, Jr., Blvd. and Detroit Avenue. In addition to the bevy of local authors who will be available to meet and sign books, we’ll have presentations throughout the event in our Algonquin Room — including a celebration of Downtown Tulsa Partnership’s 2024 Curbside Haiku winners! This family-friendly event will also include the TCCL Bookmobile (along with a special story time), a DJ, booths from community partners, and more! We’re also excited to have our Archer Street neighbors — Made, Shuffles, and Lone Wolf — joining in the festivities. Continue to check back here for more updates on what you’ll find at our 2024 Book Bash — we can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Woolly Weekend
April 25-27, 2024 | 10 a.m. - 7 p.m.
Woolly Weekend is a “sheep to shawl” festival held at Shepherd’s Cross, an authentic working sheep farm, just north of Claremore OK on Scenic Route 66. Come to the farm and watch as the sheep are shorn (given a haircut). Sheep shearing occurs throughout the day. After the fiber is shorn from the sheep, visitors can watch the wool being processed on site. It will be combed, spun, woven, knit, crocheted, and felted into finished products. This is a true Sheep to Shawl Event. Over the three-day period at least three shawls will be created entirely from the wool shorn on the first morning of the event. It is rare to find a true Sheep to Shawl experience. Shearing and demonstrations take place inside the Amish built tour barn, which houses some of the animals as well as the wool processing, farm museum, and the gift shop. There are Short Course Fiber Classes available; learn drop spindling, hand carding, or needle felting during the event. Be sure to visit the Farm Animal Barn & pet the barnyard animals. Tour the educational interactive Farm Museum & Four-Story Observation Silo, as well as the Bible Garden. Bring the entire family. Children’s activities include weaving, games, wool project, and coloring contest. This is a free event. Donations are welcome - suggested donation of $5 per person. Groups of twenty or more, please pre-register. Volunteers are needed to demonstrate fiber arts. If you spin, weave, knit, crochet, or needle felt you may join our Sheep to Shawl Team. Anyone who works with fiber is welcome. Inquire for additional information. Come shop at Shepherd’s Shop featuring a host of “woolly” and farm related handmade crafted by Shepherd’s Cross and over 50 local crafters; farm fresh USDA processed and Animal Welfare Approved meat (lamb and beef), Amish jams, health foods, yarns, and much more! Additionally, the shop features a mission section, where 100% of the sale price is returned to the indigenous craftsmen (countries include Afghanistan, Thailand, Kyrgyzstan, Malawi, Uganda and more). Our Shepherd’s Cross yarns are natural, chemical free, home grown and hand-picked here on the farm. The shop also offers roving, batts, felting supplies, spinning and weaving supplies, and much more. Fiber Arts classes, Animal Husbandry classes, and Shearing lessons are available at the farm throughout the year. Shepherd’s Cross is an accredited Agritourism facility and a “Made in Oklahoma” Company. The farm is also Animal Welfare Approved. It is home to a non-profit Christian organization named Heart of the Shepherd that hosts this event. Teaching basic agricultural principles and their relationship to the Bible are instrumental in the educational component of the farm.
