[Lakewood Public Library]

There are those who love to get dirty and fix things. They drink coffee at dawn, beer after work. And those who stay clean, just appreciate things. At breakfast they have milk and juice at night. There are those who do both, they drink tea. " --Gary Snyder (1930 -)

UPCOMING EVENTS AT LAKEWOOD PUBLIC LIBRARY

SUNDAY, MAY 3

SUNDAY WITH THE FRIENDS:
On the Road to Nova Scotia
Filmmakers Terry and Sue Meehan discover rocky coastlines, rolling hills, brooding mountains and breathtaking vistas along the scenic travelways of Canada’s most popular maritime province. From lonely lighthouses to lively cities, they invite you to join them on this vacation exploration of culture, history and natural beauty.
2 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

TUESDAY, MAY 5

Book of Hearts with Mary Lou Ferbert
Watercolor artist Mary Lou Ferbert shares twenty years worth of personal, hand-painted valentines in this one-of-a-kind collection. Originally created by the artist to pass along pieces of family history and to honor the people and events that hold a special place in her heart, these paintings will appeal to anyone willing to spend a quiet moment reflecting on their spirit and passion. Books will be available for sale and signing at the event. All proceeds from the sale of Book of Hearts will generously benefit the Rehabilitation Program at Lakewood Hospital.
7 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

SATURDAY, MAY 9

Lakewood Public Cinema: Cool Hand Luke
Directed by Stuart Rosenberg Rated PG-13 Paul Newman, in what is arguably his most powerful performance, plays a man who doesn’t care what you call him—non-conformist, world shaker, punk or other. Sentenced to a chain gang for the pettiest of crimes, he refuses to walk the line for any kind of authority and becomes a hero to men he does not want to lead. There is humor and hope and strength for all in his one-of-a-kind story. But eventually, the unbreakable man must be broken.
6 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium
