What’s On Sale

Each month, we’ve been featuring a section for a special sale.  In January, it was greeting cards, and in February, art books.  This March, we will highlight the performing arts: music, theatre, dance, film, radio, and media.  Basically, everything in the south aisle of the LitArts room will 20% off for the entire month of March!  Perhaps this is because we’re excited about our new programs featuring Old Time Radio skits and Classic Movies (read below).  Oh, and the Cleveland International Film Festival opens its 40th year on March 30th.  See you at the movies!

Episode 2: My Favorite Husband, a CBS radio sitcom, starred Lucille Ball and Richard Denning as Liz & George Cooper, “two people who live together and like it.” It ran for 124 episodes between 1948 and 1951.
Episode 3: Bold Venture followed Humphrey Bogart as a hotel and boat owner and Lauren Bacall as his ward. The two embarked upon adventures and found themselves in tight situations when they hired themselves out to shady characters.

Anticipating the year's hot contenders for the Caldecott, Newbery and other awards!

Book Discussion: Bucket List Book Club
Brian Doyle: Mink River
Wednesday, March 23, 2016, 7:00PM
~ fourth Wednesdays ~
Like Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood and Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, Brian Doyle's stunning fiction debut brings a town to life through the jumbled lives and braided stories of its people. In a small fictional town on the Oregon coast there are love affairs and almost-love-affairs, mystery and hilarity, bears and tears, brawls and boats, a garrulous logger and a silent doctor, rain and pain, Irish immigrants and Salish stories, mud and laughter. There's a Department of Public Works that gives haircuts and counts insects, a policeman addicted to Puccini, a philosophizing crow, beer and berries. An expedition is mounted, a crime committed, and there's an unbelievably huge picnic on the football field. Babies are born. A car is cut in half with a saw. A river confesses what it's thinking. . . Discussion led by Susan Petrone.
