Celebrate the ratifying of the 19^th 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 – .

We will be watching and then discussing the spy movie The Tailor of Panama starring Pierce Brosnan and Jeffrey Rush. A fun thriller that you will not want to miss. Sign-up to reserve your spot 580-7290.

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.

It has been a long and busy summer! So many things going on and so much Summer Reading Program Fun!

So there will be no Baby Storytime tonight, nor will there be Storytime Tuesday morning at 10:30.

We hope to see you again next week, once our regular schedule resumes.
