MEET THE AUTHOR:
Gimme Rewrite, Sweetheart: Tales from the Last Glory Days of Cleveland Newspapers by John H. Tidyman
Back in the days when The Cleveland Press and The Plain Dealer fought tooth and nail for newspaper supremacy, good stories didn’t just walk into the newsroom by themselves. Reporters took risks and broke rules, wearing out shoe leather and jamming dimes into payphones. John H. Tidyman, a former Press man himself, recounts outrageous stories of journalists joining the KKK, committing themselves to mental institutions, bribing sources not to talk to the competition and checking their facts at the library—all in the name of a good story. Books will be available for sale and signing at the event.
7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Thursday, November 18
BUSINESS BOOK TALK with Tim Zaun and Friends
Crush It! Why Now Is The Time To Cash In On Your Passion by Gary Vaynerchuk

7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Meeting Room

FIVE STAR FILMS: Radio Days (1987)
Directed by Woody Allen Rated PG
The lives of a working-class, Rockaway Beach family serve as the backdrop for Woody Allen’s love letter to the Golden Age of Radio. Episodes of everyday life are skillfully interwoven with scenes from popular radio programs, behind the microphone and offstage. Dianne Wiest, Mia Farrow, Julie Kavener and a very young Seth Green star in a film that turns nostalgia for a medium into a meditation on the nature of memories.
6:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Sunday, November 21
SUNDAY WITH THE FRIENDS: Opera for Everyone!
Classically-trained soprano Kathleen M. Bosl will perform works from Verdi, Strauss, Offenbach and others to demonstrate that opera, a stage play set to music, can be fun! This special program will be held at 2:00 p.m. in the Main Library Multipurpose Room.
