SUMMARY:Nonfiction Book Club
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis month\, we will discuss Grandma Gatewood’s Walk: the inspiring story of the woman who saved the Appalachian Trail by Ben Montgomery.  \nFrom the book flap:  \n \n  \nEmma Gatewood told her family she was going on a walk and left her small Ohio hometown with a change of clothes and less than $200. The next anybody heard from her\, this genteel\, farm-reared\, 67-year-old great-grandmother had walked 800 miles along the 2\,050-mile Appalachian Trail. And in September 1955\, having survived a rattlesnake strike\, two hurricanes\, and a run-in with gangsters from Harlem\, she stood atop Maine’s Mount Katahdin. There she sang the first verse of America\, the Beautiful and proclaimed: I said I’ll do it\, and I’ve done it.  \n  \nCopies of this book are available at the library.  \n  \nOur discussion will be on Zoom.  Please register here to receive the meeting details: \n

SUMMARY:Nonfiction Book Club
DESCRIPTION:**Please note: this month we are meeting on the 5th Saturday in order to avoid Memorial Day weekend** \n  \nThis month\, we will discuss Cabin: off the grid adventures with a clueless craftsman by Patrick Hutchison.  \nAccording to Macmillan Publishers: \nWit’s End isn’t just a state of mind. It’s the name of a gravel road\, the address of a run-down off-the-grid cabin\, 120 shabby square feet of fixer-upper Patrick Hutchison purchased on a whim in the mossy woods of the Cascade Mountains in Washington state. \nTo say Hutchison didn’t know what he was getting into is no more an exaggeration than to say he’s a man with nearly zero carpentry skills. Well\, used to be. You can learn a lot over six years of renovations. \nCABIN is the story of those renovations\, but it’s also a love story; of a place\, of possibilities\, and of the process of construction\, of seeing what could be instead of what is. It is a book for those who know what it’s like to bite off more than you can chew\, or who desperately wish to. \n  \nCopies of this book are available at the library.  \n  \nOur discussion will be on Zoom.  Please register here to receive the meeting details: \n

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.
