"Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion." -- Jack Kerouac (1904-1991)

UPCOMING EVENTS

Sunday, March 6
SUNDAY WITH THE FRIENDS: The Keller Brothers Spring Concert

One of the finest dramatic vocal ensembles in Northeast Ohio first came together as brothers. Peter, George and John will welcome the season of spring with Italian arias, favorite show tunes and contemporary favorites and make everything old seem new again.

Monday, March 7
Great Lakes Theater Festival: Twice Told Tales of the Decameron

In Giovanni Boccaccio’s masterpiece, the Decameron, three men and seven women trade one hundred stories about Fortune while hiding out from the bubonic plague. It was the bawdy bestseller of the medieval age. Two-and-a-half centuries later, William Shakespeare drew upon several of these tales and stretched them out into his own masterpieces, penning immortal plays like Cymbeline and The Two Gentlemen of Verona. This traveling presentation from the Great Lakes Theater Festival dramatizes two of Boccaccio’s originals later amplified by Shakespeare to provide a fascinating context for their upcoming productions of The Two Gentlemen of Verona and The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Abridged.
7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Thursday, March 10
BOOKED FOR MURDER: The Janissary Tree by Jason Goodwin

As the Ottoman Empire teeters on the brink of revolution, a eunuch passes through the busy streets without notice—he’s a detective. Four New Guard officers are missing and humble Yashim suspects the Janissaries, a mystical group of mercenaries who have defended the empire against foreign threats for hundreds of years.
7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Meeting Room

Saturday, March 12
Lakewood Public Cinema: The Secret of Kells (2009)

Directed by Tomm Moore Suitable for All Ages
There isn’t much about the Book of Kells that anybody knows for sure. This animated feature weaves its own story about Ireland’s greatest artistic treasure from the influences apparent in its design. A monastery in the middle of a pagan forest prepares to be overrun by Vikings. What’s more important: fortifying walls or finishing the book of your people? With a style that borrows heavily from Klimt, Katsushika and Calvin and Hobbes to bring ancient Celtic art to new life, this film will never leave you.
6:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Sunday, March 13
SUNDAY WITH THE FRIENDS: Loch Erie

With a spray of the sea, this contemporary Celtic folk trio keeps their Irish fresh by dabbling in everything from rock’n’roll to electronica to world beat. They also have a weakness for rousing maritime music and the traditional songs, too. If your heart isn’t moved, if your soul isn’t stirred, you just might get thrown into the lake.
2:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium
