October Movies at the Library
|
 This month, the Flicker Shack film series will present three free recent-release films at 6 p.m. on Monday nights in the Si Birch Community Room. The Latino Services selection, playing on October 7, is "Bless Me, Ultima," adapted from Rudolfo Anaya's novel. A modern take on the Shakespearean comedy "Much Ado About Nothing" will be shown on October 14. There will be no movie on October 21, due to the fall book sale. The documentary "We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks," a film by acclaimed director Alex Gibney, is our October 28 presentation. |

Story Time, Stamp Fair, and Legos
| In addition to the Library's three weekly story programs for children, watch for special events!
- Local philatelists are presenting a free, day-long postage stamp fair on Saturday, October 5, in the Si Birch Room. The fair is for everyone and will include hands-on activities and a stamp design contest for children. In the children's room, Saturday Story Stop will tie into the post office theme with stories, music, letter writing, and envelope making. Now, where would we find a stamp?
- The Library Lego program is starting up again. Drop in for an opportunity to meet fellow builders. You can use the Library's Legos or bring your own. The group meets October 7 from 3:30 to 5:15 p.m. in the Quiet Study.

Have You Looked at a NOOK?
| This summer, the Library introduced NOOK e-readers that can be borrowed for three weeks and are preloaded with a selection of over 20 fiction and nonfiction books. Some of the titles available have since been local book club picks, such as "The Light Between Oceans," "Where'd You Go, Bernadette," and "Gone Girl." If you previously missed the chance to check out a NOOK, now is a great time to experience using one. You can confirm availability by calling in advance or searching the catalog for "Nook ereader." We usually have several NOOKs in stock, both at the main library and at SPL-V. Take one on your next trip!
