Upcoming Events

Wednesday, October 6
MEET THE AUTHOR:CLEVELAND STILL ROCKS!
Cleveland’s Rock and Roll Roots by Deanna R. Adams
Rock’n’Roll and the Cleveland Connection by Deanna R. Adams
After spending an hour with Deanna Adams, you won’t wonder why the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is in Cleveland—you’ll wonder how it took so long to get here! Lake Erie audiences were the first to embrace the music and, with raucous cheering, Clevelanders kicked off the careers of one legend after another. In the good old days, even cool guys like Bowie loved the city (in a non-ironic way) simply because it was so much fun to play. With great music and wild stories from the musicians and disc jockeys who made it all happen, Adams will reignite the rock and roll in your soul. Books will be available for sale and signing at the event.
7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Thursday, October 7
MAKERSPACES: The New DIY Revolution
In the good old days, consumers had the right and the know-how to modify the products they purchased for any need they saw necessary. Although the concept seems lost, a new generation of innovators is rediscovering the do-it-yourself spirit and pushing it to the next level with mind-blowing technologies undreamt of ten years ago. Justin Walker will recount the origins and layout the opportunities of what Wired magazine is calling, “the next Industrial Revolution.”
7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Saturday, October 9
THE LAKEWOOD PUBLIC CINEMA: Tarzan and His Mate (1934)
Directed by Cedric Gibbons Not Rated
The greatest Tarzan film ever made snuck into theaters just before the notorious Hays code took all the fun out of leaving civilization behind. Greedy hunters on the prowl for ivory want to take Jane back to the world of men. Tarzan no like. Johnny Weismuller and Maureen O'Sullivan sizzle and swing in a jungle picture like no other!
6:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Sunday, October 10

LPL'S WEB SITE FOCUS: Scholastic Reading Counts

Lakewood City Schools Scholastic Reading Counts is a reading program that provides leveled, measurable, independent reading practice that motivates students to read more and become better readers. After reading a book, students take a Scholastic Reading Counts! quiz. They demonstrate completion and comprehension of the book by correctly answering multiple-choice questions. In the process, students track their progress, are accountable for meeting their reading goals, and gain a sense of accomplishment. In addition, the quizzes provide practice for standardized tests. The program features aids for guiding students to books that fit their reading level and curriculum needs.

The school system owns quizzes for many thousands of titles. Lakewood Public Library presents listings of available quizzes in pdf format for the convenience of students and their parents.
