SUNDAY WITH THE FRIENDS: Lizzie Borden
A proper Victorian lady from a respectable family, how could she commit such a heinous crime? Did she really give her father forty whacks? Actress Christy Igo invites you to be the judge in a moving (and often humorous) look at the strange case of Lizzie Borden.

KNIT & LIT BOOK CLUB: SPECIAL AUTHOR VISIT!
Paula McLain, author of A Ticket to Ride will join the group this evening for a discussion of her novel.
Lynda Tuennerman hosts a social club for multitaskers—a book club and a stitchery group! She’s looking for readers who can enjoy intense discussion of modern classics while relaxing with their latest stitching project. Come share your passion for great literature and show off your knitting, crocheting, counted cross-stitch, embroidery and quilting works-in-progress. At each meeting, the group decides what will be read next. Call (216) 226-8275 ext. 127 or visit http://www.lkwdpl.org/bookclubs to learn more. Tonight’s book discussion is about The Zookeeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman

MEET THE AUTHOR: A Body at Rest by Susan Petrone
Martha and Nina are just two more of Cleveland’s over-educated, under-employed slackers, stuck in dead-end jobs. What makes them different is a series of strange events that change them (literally?) into the fictional characters with whom they most identify: Emma Woodhouse and Don Quixote. Author Susan Petrone will not only read from her book, but will also discuss the process by which she turned her initial idea into a finished, published book. Books will be available for sale and signing at the event.
7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Remember the bubbles you used to blow as a kid? Or the bubbles you blow with your kids? Well, the Wonderful World of Bubbles will blow your bubble memories away! The Bubble Lady, Sue Durante, will show us how to blow bubbles with all kinds of things you have around the house. She will also make bubbles so big you can stand in them.
