KNIT & LIT BOOK CLUB
Lynda Tuennerman hosts a social club for multitaskers—a combination book club and stitchery group. She’s looking for readers who can enjoy intense discussion of modern classics while relaxing with their latest stitching project. Come share your passion for great literature and show off your knitting, crocheting, counted cross-stitch, embroidery and quilting works-in-progress. At each meeting, the group decides what will be read next. Call (216) 226-8275, ext. 127 or visit http://www.lkwdpl.org/bookclubs to learn more. Tonight’s book discussion is on How Green Was My Valley by Richard Llewellyn

THE LAKEWOOD PUBLIC CINEMA:
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
(1975) Directed by Terrys Gilliam and Jones Rated PG
King Arthur and his knights seek out the Holy Grail for some reason or another. No one’s really sure why. Ironically, this mad, silly comedy wound up being one of the most accurate medieval films ever made—aside from the coconuts.
6:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Sunday, August 22
SUNDAY WITH THE FRIENDS: J. SCOTT FRANKLIN
Emerging from the Lost State of Franklin, this death-defying guitarist goes solo to capture lost moments in time with heartfelt, intelligent lyrics and riffs ranging from haunting to silly. Hear for yourself why Scene Magazine nominated him songwriter of the year.
2:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium
