"A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a company by the way, a counselor, a multitude of counselors." --Charles Baudelaire (1821 -1867)

UPCOMING EVENTS AT LAKEWOOD PUBLIC LIBRARY

TUESDAY, APRIL 7

AUTHOR VISIT: PERRY PESKIN
The Search for Lost Habitats by Perry Peskin Explore Northeast Ohio locales near and dear to the author’s heart in the search for the natural beauty of the rarest wildflowers. From the expansive wetlands and mature forests of Ashtabula County to the unusual clay banks of the Cuyahoga and Chagrin rivers, witness fragile habitats clinging to life—and even some orchids! Nature photographer and amateur botanist, Perry Peskin, illustrates the wealth of local diversity with photographs from his personal collection. Books will be available for sale and signing after the show.
7 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

THURSDAY, APRIL 9

BOOKED FOR MURDER
Tonight's book discussion is about The Big Over Easy by Jasper Fforde. Humpty Dumpty’s great fall sets off a murder investigation in this clever parody featuring cameos from a boisterous gang of nursery criminals. Sorting through Dumpty’s tumultuous love life and shady dealings, Detective Jack Spratt and Sergeant Mary Mary must crack the case before the body count climbs any higher.
7 p.m. in the Main Library Meeting Room

SATURDAY, APRIL 11

Lakewood Public Cinema: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
(1937) Directed by David Hand Rated G A dream child with skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood and hair as black as ebony is cast off into the forest by her vain stepmother, only to be delivered into the protection of seven kindhearted little men. This lush animated masterpiece, painstakingly crafted with old world draftsmanship, is required viewing for anyone who uses the name Disney as a byword for things shallow and tacky.
6 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

SUNDAY, APRIL 12
Closed for Easter
