How To Weed Your Attic
Elizabeth P Dow and Lucinda Cockrell
In September, our very own Lucinda Cockrell will be co-author of a new publication!
Lucinda Cockerell, who spent her career as an archivist, and Elizabeth P. Dow a retired museum curator will be at the library to discuss their new book: How to Weed Your Attic
"After reading this clearly written book by a retired archivist and a retired museum curator, you can comfortably clean out your attic – or office, garage, basement, cupboards – with confidence that you’re not tossing out historically valuable (or invaluable) things, and that you will not ask your local museum to take things that really belong in a thrift store, junk yard, or recycle center.
This book describes how to identify historically important documents and artifacts".

Local History:
October 10, 1:00 PM
Every 2nd Wednesday
We will talk about a historical check writing scam that affected a number of local residents (causing bankruptcy for a few). Rowland Robinson mentions this in his book about Danvis. And our history sleuth, Rhonda, has found some other written references, including a tie in with Walter Burnham. This coming year especially, we are working to reference Walter Burnham as much as possible, because of the centennial celebration of Burnham Hall, which was built in 1919.

"All the President's Men"
Wednesday, October 24, 7:00 PM
All the President's Men is a 1976 American political thriller film about the Watergate scandal, which brought down the presidency of Richard M. Nixon.

The film stars Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman as Woodward and Bernstein, respectively. The film was nominated in multiple Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA categories, and in 2010 was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
