LPL NEWS FOR THE WEEK OF JANUARY 25, 2009

"Any idiot can face a crisis, it is this day-to-day living that wears you out."
--Anton Chekhov (1860-1904)

UPCOMING EVENTS AT LAKEWOOD PUBLIC LIBRARY

SUNDAY, JANUARY 25

SUNDAY WITH THE FRIENDS:
Cello-bration Quartet
The mellow sounds of Cello-bration are just the thing to chase away the winter blues. Comprised of musicians from local community orchestras, this fun-loving quartet will play familiar songs in new arrangements. Are four cellos too many? No, there’s always room for cello.
2:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28

SUPERCOLLIDER: Fantasy, Science Fiction and More
Tonight's book discussion is about: Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card When humanity is threatened by an alien race, Ender Wiggin leaves his family at the age of six to enter Battle School. Mind games and mock battles provide strict discipline, but it’s his instinct and compassion that make him an unequalled genius.
