Library Events for September
How To Weed Your Attic
Elizabeth P Dow and Lucinda Cockrell
Wednesday October 3, 7:00PM
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".

Citizenfour is a 2014 documentary film directed by Laura Poitras, concerning Edward Snowden and the NSA spying scandal. The film had its US premiere on October 10, 2014, at the New York Film Festival and its UK premiere on October 17, 2014, at the BFI London Film Festival. The film features Snowden and Glenn Greenwald, and was co-produced by Poitras, Mathilde Bonnefoy, and Dirk Wilutzky, with Steven Soderbergh and others serving as executive producers. Citizenfour received critical acclaim upon release, and was the recipient of numerous accolades, including the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 2015 Oscars.
In January 2013, Laura Poitras, an American documentary film director/producer who had been working for several years on a film about monitoring programs in the United States that were the result of the September 11 attacks, receives an encrypted e-mail from a stranger who calls himself, "Citizenfour." In it, he offers her inside information about illegal wiretapping practices of the NSA.

Book Recommendation: Warlight
by Michael Ondaatje
“From the internationally acclaimed, best-selling author of The English Patient: a mesmerizing new novel that tells a dramatic story set in the decade after World War II through the lives of a small group of unexpected characters and two teenagers whose lives are indelibly shaped by their unwitting involvement.”
Every Patron that has read this book has been filled with praise for the writing, and the story in this book!
Last month we had a wonderful introductory class of Qigong, and now White Cloud Arts is offering a ten week series on Tuesday mornings 10-11 am starting Sept 11 through Nov. 13.
Madeleine Piat-Landolt, movement artist, educator and healer will be leading the class to inspire, awaken and cultivate harmony through thoughtful movement.
A donation is suggested; please see Wendy for further details.
