With cooler weather on the way, and summer vacations coming to an end, the library has announced its fall lineup. We encourage you to come out to the library to attend some or all of these programs.
Both the Monday Cultural Film series and Thursday Night @ the Movies are back in September. On Monday, September 9, we will show the 2018 film, The Hate U Give, about a young woman who is constantly switching between two worlds – the poor, mostly black neighborhood where she lives and the wealthy, mostly white prep school that she attends. Thursday, September 19, features the 2017 film, The Bookshop, in which a free-spirited widow risks everything to open a bookshop in a sleepy English town. These and all films will be shown on the Community Room’s new screen/projection/sound system, thanks to funding from the Library Friends.
The adult technology series resumes on Tuesday, September 17, at 6 p.m., with “Smartphones for Seniors.” If you are a senior or someone who just needs a little help navigating the myriad uses of a smartphone, and would like to learn more about its functions, this program is for you.
If you are interested in embarking on a family history project or just learning more about genealogy websites and databases, we hope you’ll consider attending “Exploring Your Family History Through Genealogy” on Tuesday, September 24, at 7 p.m. Mike Dixon, through Delaware Humanities, will provide step-by-step information for anyone who wants to know more about this popular subject. This program is perfect for beginners, or for more experienced genealogists who want to brush up on their skills.
Maria Pipidis, from the University of Delaware’s Cooperative Extension, returns on Tuesday, October 22, for a program about the inheritance of personal property. “Who Gets Grandma’s Yellow Pie Plate?” will provide practical information about how to pass on personal items, and how to avoid family conflict during the process. The program begins at 6:30 p.m.
For a complete listing of all programs, Monday Cultural Film series titles, Thursday Night @ the Movies features, and adult technology classes, please pick up a copy of the fall program brochure at the Reference Desk. Registration is requested for all programs listed above.
