MEET THE AUTHOR: Linda Legeza
Cooler Full of Fish
The Rainy Day House
Cleveland author Linda Legeza will answer your questions about writing and fishing. In her first novel, Cooler Full of Fish, a young man with a natural gift for rod and reel struggles to figure out the rest of his life. While his friends are moving on with relationships and careers, Jeff Grabowski is still taking care of his father’s charter fishing company. His half-hearted plan is to make the business such a success that his father no longer needs him. But what would he do then? The author will also bring along her new novel, The Rainy Day House. Both books will be available for sale and signing at the event.

BOOKED FOR MURDER BOOK CLUB: New York City
Lush Life by Richard Price
After a night of barhopping on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, three men are approached by two muggers. One man is shot to death and Detective Matty Clark is called to find the killer. Price’s knowledge of the city and gift for realistic dialogue make for a powerful representation of the dark side of New York City.
7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Meeting Room

Saturday, September 11
THE LAKEWOOD PUBLIC CINEMA: A Day at the Races (1937)
Directed by Sam Wood Not Rated
When the Marx brothers head out to the racetrack for a few laughs, describing the plot almost seems misleading. Needless to say, Harpo plays the harp, Chico cons everyone into thinking he can play the piano and Groucho dances and struts his way from one-liner to one-liner—this time as Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush, horse doctor and personal physician to the rich and gullible.
6:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Sunday, September 12
SUNDAY WITH THE FRIENDS: InTransit
Diverse musical talents find a common beat in the body-moving polyrhythms of Latin America. This experimental jazz trio seamlessly blends original compositions with old favorites for an exciting new sound.
2:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium
