UPCOMING EVENTS AT LAKEWOOD PUBLIC LIBRARY


THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10

BOOKED FOR MURDER

Tonight’s book discussion is about Finding Nouf by Zoe Ferraris
In this modern Saudi Arabian mystery, desert guide Nayir al-Sharqi, is called on by a wealthy family to recover a missing teenage girl. Just days before her wedding, Nouf is found dead. But when the family learns the suspicious circumstances, they no longer care about finding the truth. Undeterred, Nayir risks all to unlock the hidden world of Saudi women. For more details, visit http://www.lkwdpl.org/bookclubs.
7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Meeting Room

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12

WORD PROCESSING BASICS
A word processor is more than just a typewriter with a TV attached to it. It’s a whole new approach to creating, saving and updating all kinds of documents—from fliers to letters to manuscripts and more. This isn’t a typing class, but the skills you’ll learn can serve you well in every aspect of computer life. Registration begins on the first of each month. Call (216) 226-8275, ext 127 or just stop by the Technology Center and ask.
3:00 p.m. in the Main Library Learning Lab


LAKEWOOD PUBLIC CINEMA: Backbeat (1994)
Directed by Iain Softley Rated R

Ah! To be young, in love and a Beatle! In the days before they were huge, John, Paul and George slogged through twelve hour days in seedy German night clubs, honing their sound on classic R&B covers. Watch the boys discover the world outside of Liverpool. Add an artsy dream girl, a doomed painter and an angry young Lennon caught in a life-altering love triangle and you have a heart-stopping, foot-stomping, rock’n’roll story.
6:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13

SUNDAY WITH THE FRIENDS: The Joe DeJarnette Jazz Ensemble

Some of the most beautiful ballads ever written get the Joe DeJarnette treatment in this dreamy afternoon showcase of music by Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk and Duke Ellington. Listen closely for sweet Latin melodies and New Orleans largesse in a sprinkling of original compositions.
2:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Meet the New Director: A Reception for James Crawford

James Crawford, the new Director of the Lakewood Public Library wants to meet you! A special reception, open to the public, will be held in the lobby of the Main Library Auditorium. Enjoy light refreshments and light conversation with the man chosen by the Board of Trustees to uphold the Library’s tradition of superior service and keep an eye on the future.
Mr. Crawford comes to us from Port Clinton, Ohio where for the past nine years he has served as the Director of the Ida Rupp Public Library and its branch, the Erie Islands Library on Put-in-Bay. Known for strategic analysis, long-term planning and community involvement, he used his time there to implement new technologies, cultivate the collection and expand services.
