Although “winter is icumen in,” the library will not be hibernating. Instead, we will offer programs to challenge, inform, invigorate, and entertain you.
The Monday Night Cultural Film Series returns on January 14th, with the recent feature film Crazy Rich Asians; and Thursday Night @ the Movies continues on January 24th, with the documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, about the television icon Fred (“Mr.”) Rogers. Both films will begin at 6:30 p.m.
If you are nearing retirement, please join us on Tuesday, January 29th, for a special class to help you learn how to calculate what you will need for retirement and provide strategies for using your savings assets to create a “retirement paycheck.” This class will be presented by the University of Delaware Cooperative Extension and will run from 6-8 p.m.
February will feature two special programs for Black History Month. The first, African Americans and the Civil War, will examine the challenges faced by African Americans, free and enslaved, and put a face to soldiers who fought valiantly for the Union cause and freedom. This Delaware Humanities presentation by Kathy Trusty will begin at 7 p.m., on Tuesday, February 19th. In addition, the library will offer a special showing of Alice’s Ordinary People, a documentary about an unsung heroine of the Civil Rights Movement. This movie will begin at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, February 26th.
On Tuesday, March 26th, at 7 p.m., we’re off to explore the world with some exceptional and intrepid women travelers of the 18th, 19th, and early 20thcenturies. Wayward Women Travelers will be presented by Dr. Linda De Roche, through Delaware Humanities.
The Technology Series for Adults will continue on Tuesday, January 22nd, with instruction on how to download e-books to a Kindle or tablet. This class will run from 6-7 p.m.
We are pleased to announce the first meeting of a new library book group on Monday, March 18th. The Tasty Memories Book Group will meet quarterly, to read and discuss food memoirs.
