Diary of Saxton B. Little

Speaking Volumes

Keeping you up-to-date on what's happening at your library. We invite you to join in the conversation!
SEPTEMBER 3, 2008
Lights! Camera! Action!

Many of you know that I started my professional career with a doctorate in Sociology, specializing in Criminology. Some of you might know that the research for my dissertation involved the insane task of watching and taking notes on over 350 films.

While this may not sound like a painful, grueling process, the reality was that after the first dozen or so, it was not a pleasant experience. In fact, much to my family and friend’s dismay, the result was that I couldn’t tolerate sitting through a feature length film for years after that. Consequently, there is a huge gap in my cinematic experience.

Slowly, I am making up for lost time.

Starting in the month of September, the Library in conjunction with the Friends is sponsoring a film series. Once a month for the next three months, on a Monday evening the Saxton B. Little Library will transform with movies, popcorn and hopefully entertainment and discussion. Our winter film series will take place on Sunday afternoons.

I’m excited about our Fall line up, The Astronaut Farmer (September 15), Freedom Writers (October 20) and The Visitor (November) are three films that I’ve yet to see. I think each of these films will offer something to think about and I look forward to hearing what others think.

So, pass the popcorn and see you there.  But if not, remember the library has thousands of other choices for you to check out! And I am always looking for good recommendations.

 **********

For those interested, the Fall Film series is accepting donation of $5.00 for tickets per movie, or a ‘season pass’: tickets for all three films for $10.00. All proceeds will go towards the purchase of DVDs and movie licensing for the library. Please feel free to call the Library for more details.
