BOOKED FOR MURDER
Tonight’s book discussion is about The Secret History by Donna Tartt. When a clique of Classics students from an elite East coast college stage a Dionysian frenzy, a local farmer ends up dead. It was an accident, but the secret slowly tears them apart and leads to more senseless death. In this spellbinding mystery-in-reverse, we learn “who” right away, but must wait to see how the pieces fit together. For more details, visit http://www.lkwdpl.org/bookclubs.
7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Meeting Room

BACK TO THE MOVIES: Five Decades of Cinema
The Fifties: High Noon (1952)
Directed by Fred Zinnemann -- Not Rated
This Western classic stars Gary Cooper as Hadleyville marshal Will Kane, who is about to retire and leave town with his Quaker bride Grace Kelly when he learns that a group of men he sent to jail is due to arrive on the high noon train. With the Miller gang set on vengeance, the aging marshal has a little more than an hour to gather some deputies and make a stand. As director Zinnemann cuts to ever larger images of clocks, each person in the town has a reason why he can’t be part of the posse. Even his pacifist wife seems ready to desert him. Tex Ritter’s Oscar-winning "Do Not Forsake Me, O My Darling" resonates as Kane and the clock advance inevitably toward high noon.
