Adult Programming in August
Sadly, the 2016 Adult Summer Reading Program has come
to an end, but we have plenty of fun programs planned for adults in the months
to come. Join us for Building Your DIY Toolbox.
A well-equipped toolbox is essential for completing jobs around the home – from
hanging a picture frame or doing major home improvements. We will discuss the
tools everyone should own, from the most minimalist toolbox to the experienced
DIYer.
Get
ready for the Clay County Fair with Author Arla Kintigh. She will be at the
library for a book signing of her new book,
Fairgoers Do Not Live on Fried
Food Alone. She
will discuss the joys and pitfalls of self-publishing and talk about the
historically delicious food that has been at the Clay County Fair.
For August we will be
watching the movie The Queen starring
Helen Mirren. Based on the death of Princess Diana, Queen Elizabeth II and
Prime Minister Tony Blair struggle to compromise on how the Royal Family should
publicly acknowledge the tragedy.
The Book To Movie club will
be watching and discussing the movie The
Painted Veil starring Naomi Watts and Edward Norton. The movie is based on the 1925 novel by W.
Somerset Maugham. After being
caught in an affair with another man, a scientist's callow wife accompanies her
husband to mainland China in the 1920s to fight a cholera epidemic. There, she
embarks on a journey of self-discovery that leads to an unexpected chance at
redemption. Our next book to movie is Follow the Rabbit Proof Fence written in 1996 by Doris Pilkington
Garimara. The book tells the true story of three aboriginal girls who are forcibly taken
from their families in 1931 to be trained as domestic servants as part of an
official Australian government policy. They make a daring escape and embark on
an epic 1,500 mile journey to get back home. We will be watching the
movie titled Rabbit Proof Fence starring
Kenneth Branagh in October, so sign-up to read the book today.
