"Libraries are the one American institution you shouldn't rip off."--Barbara Kingsolver (1955-)
UPCOMING EVENTS AT LAKEWOOD PUBLIC LIBRARY

Wednesday, April 11
A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE PROGRAMS
A book discussion program for students in fourth through eighth grade.
Though I'd rather not, I'm obliged to inform you of these most unhappy programs about Lemony Snicket's very sad books concerning the dreadful lives of the Baudelaire orphans. Please read at least the first two books before the first program. You would probably have a happier time watching leaves grow on trees, but if you must register you should stop in or call (216) 226-8275, ext. 140.
7:30 p.m. – 8:30 P.M. in the Main Library Auditorium

Saturday, April 14
Writer's Workshop - New Location - New Time
Renew your creative energy and get positive feedback from fellow writers. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just have a hankering to write, everyone is welcome to join this workshop.
3:00 P.M. in the Madison Branch Meeting Room

Lakewood Public Cinema - Lord Love a Duck (1966)
Directed by George Axelrod. Not Rated (13+). This brooding, dark comedy starring Roddy McDowall and Tuesday Weld is so beautiful, funny and strange that you're just going to have to see it for yourself. It's possibly an endangered species!
7:00 P.M. in the Main Library Auditorium

Sunday, April 15
Sunday With the Friends - Old-Time Banjo, Guitar and Musical Saw Sing-Along Teach-In
One-man roots band, Gary Rice, hunkers down for a homemade hootenanny! You're invited to sing along and stomp your feet.
2:00 P.M. in the Main Library Auditorium
