If you want to write\, this book will quickly become a treasured resource\, because it will improve your writing. But even if you have no interest whatsoever in writing\, King’s anecdotes and instructions into the art and process will probably make you a better\, more informed reader.” \n  \nCopies of this book are available at the library.  \nOur discussion will be held in a hybrid format.  The host will be in person at the BFL\, while some members will join over zoom.  You are welcome to join either way.  For zoom\, please register here to receive the meeting details: \n\n\n \n \n Nonfiction Book Club Registration - October 2026\n \n \n your nameemail*\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Δ URL:https://baconfreelibrary.org/event/nfoct24/ LOCATION:Bacon Free Library\, 58 Eliot Street\, Natick\, MA\, 01760\, United States CATEGORIES:Adult Events,Featured GEO:42.285064;-71.346109 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bacon Free Library 58 Eliot Street Natick MA 01760 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=58 Eliot Street:geo:-71.346109,42.285064 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241028T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241028T170000 DTSTAMP:20240916T204040Z CREATED:20240425T191955Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240916T204040Z UID:48653-1730131200-1730134800@baconfreelibrary.org SUMMARY:Cinéphile Mondays DESCRIPTION:Cinephilia is an academic word literally meaning “love of cinema\,” but it also contains hints of nostalgia and passion for a film art that was undoubtedly the defining media experience of the twentieth century. \nAs such\, cinema has a variegated and fascinating history which extends well beyond the Hollywood we are all familiar with.  Meant as a tribute to the film art around the world\, from the days of silent cinema to the new waves and beyond\, our cinephile Mondays is a slow and tasteful appreciation of the First Century of Cinema.  The films will be selected on the basis of their relevance for the development of the film art.  On the last Monday of the month\, cinephiles of the world unite!  \nWatch a movie at home and then join Film history & Media studies Professor MV for a virtual discussion. \nFor Monday October 28 \nWe will be discussing: The Vanishing by George Sluizer\, Netherlands\nFrance 1988 \nCriterion DVD available on Minuteman HERE \nIf you are interested in attending this Zoom discussion\, please contact Graziella at glesellier@minlib.net URL:https://baconfreelibrary.org/event/cinephile-october/ CATEGORIES:Adult Events,Featured ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://baconfreelibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/CAMS2-small-e1590854043239.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241029T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241029T183000 DTSTAMP:20241003T204533Z CREATED:20240802T144040Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241003T204533Z UID:49464-1730223000-1730226600@baconfreelibrary.org SUMMARY:Pebble Art DESCRIPTION:Helen Bellomo is back with us to teach a class on how to make your own Pebble Art.
