"It does not matter much whom we live with in this world, but it matters a great deal whom we dream of." -- Willa Cather (1873-1947)

Upcoming Events

Sunday, December 5
SUNDAY WITH THE FRIENDS: Front Porch
This merry band of Baldwin Wallace professors sings together to create interdisciplinary four-part vocal harmonies that will knock you out of your rocking chair. With a heaping helping of string instruments, they play bluegrass, folk and old timey mountain music. Attendance is compulsory.
2:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Monday, December 6
College for You
Anybody interested in going to college should jump on this opportunity to talk to Bob Durham from Cleveland Scholarship Programs. Whether you’re a high school student, an adult learner or just a concerned family member, Bob will provide useful advice on searching for scholarships, financial aid and the college that fits best. Visit http://www.cspohio.org for more information on Cleveland Scholarship Programs.
7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Wednesday, December 8
MEET THE AUTHOR: “PORE JUD IS DAID”
A Special Presentation on the Villain of Oklahoma!
Musical Mysteries: From Mozart to John Lennon by Albert Borowitz
In this somewhat unusual discussion, Albert Borowitz will focus on one single chapter from his engrossing new book on the interplay between crime and music. Jud Fry, the sinister farmhand from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!, provides the author with all the opening he needs to examine the dark side of the American musical. “Lonely Room,” Jud’s most poignant and terrifying song, was not cut out of the film by accident. Books will be available for sale and signing at the event.
7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Saturday, December 11
THE LAKEWOOD PUBLIC CINEMA: The Agony and the Ecstasy (1965)
Directed by Carol Reed Rated G
The masterpieces of the Sistine Chapel did not result from a well-written grant proposal or a reasoned committee. Instead, they were born of a fiery, life-and-death struggle between a warrior Pope and Michelangelo—the greatest artist of the greatest artistic movement in history. Charlton Heston and Rex Harrison play two great men whose faith did not allow them to compromise, men who were finally humbled by the tasks before them.
6:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Sunday, December 12
SUNDAY WITH THE FRIENDS: A Salute to Duke Ellington
A Cleveland sensation, Mojo: The Generations Big Band, pays tribute to the greatest bandleader of them all. How many different kinds of songs did he write? How many different kinds of people did he entertain? It will take a stage full of jazz pros just to scratch the surface.
2:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium
