Spencer Public Library’s Poetry Contest is in full swing.
So, before you put the finishing touches on your most prized poem, head to the
library to get a free professional poetry review. That’s right, Phil Hey,
Professor Emeritus of English and Writing at Briar Cliff College will be
hosting, “Calling All Poets”. We want you to bring your original poem to the
library and let a professional give you some pointers. Be sure to take
advantage of this unique opportunity and unleash your inner poet.
Don’t forget to sign-up to read Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austin for our Books to Movies Club. Austin’s novel, originally published in 1811, is an intimate
glance into the everyday lives of women in early nineteenth century England.
The book is an extended debate between logic and emotion and how different
people use those two different approaches in love and relationships. We will
watch the movie, “Sense and Sensibilty”, starring Emma Thompson and Kate
Winslet in April.
Let’s hope that the bad weather we had in February does not
follow us into March. Due to a weather cancellation, the library will have the
DIY Beauty Products in March.
The March Movie is “Bridge of Spies” directed by Steven
Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks. “Bridge of Spies” is a dramatic thriller set
against the backdrop of a series of historic events during the Cold War. A
Brooklyn lawyer is thrust into a CIA mission to negotiate the release of a
captured American U-2 pilot. Based on a true story and receiving excellent reviews,
this movie is one to see.
