"The thing that teases the mind over and over for years, and at last gets itself put down rightly on paper - whether little or great, it belongs to Literature." --Sarah Orne Jewett (1849-1909)

INTERNET BASICS
The idea behind this class is that learning how to get around the Internet isn’t hard—it’s just unfamiliar. So let’s jump in and get our feet wet. We can learn the basic skills along the way while we discover what’s been waiting for us online.
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

BACK TO THE MOVIES: Five Decades of Cinema
The Twenties: The General (1927) Directed by Buster Keaton All Ages
Arguably the best train film ever made is also widely regarded as one of the greatest of all silent films. Keaton plays a Confederate train engineer who doggedly pursues his beloved locomotive and the woman he adores. The film received poor reviews and disappointing box-office when initially released, but by 1962 (four years before Keaton died) it was named one of the 20 greatest films of all time by the British Film Institute’s prestigious Sight and Sound Magazine critic’s poll. In the latest survey, it sits at number 15.
6:00 p.m.in the Main Library Auditorium
