Everybody's Doin' it
Book Talk with Dale Cockrell
Thursday, November 14
7:00 PM
Everybody’s Doin’ It is the eye-opening story of popular music’s seventy-year rise in the brothels, dance halls, and dives of New York City. Whether coming from a single piano player or a small band, live music was a nightly feature in New York’s spirited dives, where men and women, often black and white, mingled freely―to the horror of the elite. Musicologist Dale Cockrell, a Lincoln resident, recreates this ephemeral underground world by mining tabloids, newspapers, court records of police busts, lurid exposés, journals, and the reports of undercover detectives working for social-reform
organizations, who were sent in to gather evidence against such low-life places.

Bridges Movie for November:

Hidden Figures
As the United States raced against Russia to put a man in space, NASA found untapped talent in a group of African-American female mathematicians that served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in U.S. history. Based on Margot Lee Shetterly’s nonfiction book of the same title, Hidden Figures follows these women as they quickly rose the ranks of NASA alongside many of history's greatest minds specifically tasked with calculating the momentous launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, and guaranteeing his safe return. Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, and Katherine Goble Johnson crossed gender, race, and professional lines while their brilliance and desire to dream big— beyond anything ever accomplished before by the human race— firmly cemented them in U.S. history as true American heroes.
Book Group for November
About Grace
by Anthony Doerr
Monday
November 25
7:00 PM
David Winkler begins life in Anchorage, Alaska, a quiet boy drawn to the volatility of weather and obsessed with snow. Sometimes he sees things before they happen—a man carrying a hatbox will be hit by a bus; Winkler will fall in love with a woman in a supermarket. When David dreams that his infant daughter will drown in a flood as he tries to save her, he comes undone. He travels thousands of miles, fleeing family, home, and the future itself, to deny the dream.
On a Caribbean island, destitute, alone, and unsure if his child has survived or his wife can forgive him, David is sheltered by a couple with a daughter of their own. Ultimately it is she who will pull him back into the world, to search for the people he left behind.
Doerr's characters are full of grief and longing, but also replete with grace. His compassion for human frailty is extraordinarily moving. In luminous prose, he writes about the power and beauty of nature and about the tiny miracles that transform our lives. About Grace is heartbreaking, radiant, and astonishingly accomplished.

Community Room Exhibit:
Photography of Kathryn Wyatt
Kathryn’s love of photography took her to Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, where she developed her artistic eye and also discovered Fiber Arts. After graduating with a BFA, she escaped the city and moved to the green mountains of Vermont
.
Marriage, a move to Maine, two children and many animals hijacked her creative pursuits for some time, until an unexpected gift from her grandfather of a new camera rekindled her original love of taking photographs. Now, daily walks with the camera have once again become Kathryn’s place of refuge. She continues to find unexpected joy in the quiet spaces between the chaos of everyday life.
