Saturday, August 27, 2:00 PM –Helen Lewis Historical Performance at Spencer Public Library –
Please call 580-7290 with questions. |
Celebrate the ratifying of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote (August 1920) with a special Chautauqua performance at Spencer Public Library. Helen Lewis portrays Jane Addams in her program, Jane Addams: Suffrage and the Progressive Presidents. Jane Addams (1860-1935) was one of the most well recognized and generally admired women of her time. Addams knew and worked with many Presidents toward woman’s suffrage. She worked hard for social reform and she was a strong peace activist believing that peace doesn’t just come from lack of war, but from an equality in all humans. Addams was the first American woman awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (1931) for her years of peace activism.

Monday, August 29, 6:30 PM – Book To Movie at Spencer Public Library – .
Join the Book To Movie
club by either reading the book, watching the movie, or both. We will be
watching the spy movie “The Tailor of Panama” starring Pierce Brosnan and
Geoffrey Rush. This movie is a Casablanca without heroes, a hotbed of drugs,
laundered money, and corruption. Harry
Pendel, a not-so-humble tailor, is blackmailed and bribed into becoming an
informant for British intelligence, on the theory that his professional
contacts as a custom tailor to the rich and powerful ought to provide valuable data.
Our next book to movie is “About Schmidt” written in 1997 by Louis Begley. The
first book in the Schmidt trilogy, About
Schmidt details a proud, traditional, and impeccably
organized, Albert Schmidt, a button-down lawyer of the old
school. But now, after years of careful management, his life is
slowly unraveling due to the death of his wife, early retirement, and what he
feels is a bad marriage choice by his daughter. We will be watching the movie
starring Jack Nicholson in October, so sign-up to read the book today.

Liana Liberato, and Jessica Alba. This movie will take you back to 1962 when
