MEET THE AUTHORS:
McGowan’s Call by Rob Smith
The Long River Home by Larry Smith
McGowan’s Retreat by Rob Smith
Two novelists and small press publishers, Rob Smith and Larry Smith (from Drinian Press and Bottom Dog Press, respectively) will read from their novels and discuss the writing process. They will also discuss the craft and business of publishing. Books will be available for sale and signing. Rob Smith’s McGowan books, filled with contemporary tales of a pastor and his parishioners, are often compared to Sherwood Anderson’s Winesburg, Ohio. In The Long River Home, Larry Smith chronicles the lives of four generations of Ohio Appalachians and searches for a deeper understanding of the nation at large.

BACK TO THE MOVIES: Vintage Hitchcock
The Lodger (1927) Directed by Alfred Hitchcock Not Rated
A tall man in a cape with his face all wrapped in a scarf knocks at your door and asks for lodgings. To make matters worse, a Jack-the-Ripper-like killer is roaming the streets of London, killing blondes. What would you do? If you were Alfred Hitchcock, you’d make a movie. Matinee idol Ivor Novello plays the first in a long line of innocent characters wrongly accused.
6:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

LPL'S WEB SITE FOCUS: Hidden Victorian Architecture of Lakewood

Craig Bobby has put together a driving-tour of historic (mostly late-19th-century) structures that are either hidden from 'proper' view, contain significant details not seen unless you really look, or are otherwise going unnoticed. The driving-tour is divided into two parts, one encompassing the sites in western Lakewood, and the other for those in eastern Lakewood.
