Whooty Whoot, Whoot, Whoot...

I've got some exceptional adult programming coming your way in the next month! I do, I do! :-)

First and foremost, those lovely ladies of yarn are back for another round of classes in September. You know you love them, I know I love them...it's Diane and Suzy! *rounds of applause in background* They will be teaching knitting classes on Wednesdays in September starting on the 8th. The classes will be from 6-8pm in the Glenn Schminke Community Room. Participants (that's you) need to bring a skein of light, plain-colored yarn and a size 9 or 10 knitting needles.

On Friday, September 17th at 7pm, Hiawatha Library After Hours (sounds spooky, doesn't it?) will be presenting what will hopefully be the first in a long line of successful programs.
In The Shadow of the Raven begins as Edgar Allan Poe rises from the scene of his mysterious death and continues as he pieces together the events of his life. Broadway and film veteran, Duffy Hudson uses a combination of biographical information and the dramatic interpretation of Poe’s literature, Annabel Lee, The Raven and The Tell Tale Heart, to provide a unique, in-depth theatrical experience of the life and works of one of America’s best-known and enigmatic personalities. Trust this whiner, you don't want to miss this performance! The dude is the awesome-ist! (Yes, I just made up that word, get over it...)

Finally, on Thursday, September 29th from 6:30-7:30 pm, I am hosting my first Big Read Book Club. Our first selection (in honor of the upcoming Banned Books Week and the 50th anniversary of its publication) will be To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. This little club is limited to 8 participants and all will receive a free copy of the book, as well as a Big Read reader's guide with insightful little tidbits about the book and its history. And if you're really lucky, I just may bring treats! You can't beat that one kids, free book and free food!

Hope to see you at all of these wonderful programs. All of them!!
