A Gathering of the Ages
Friday, November 13 • 3-5 p.m. • Community Room

Some local teens had a brilliant idea: Why not offer different generations a chance to mingle and play at the library? Grab your parents, grandparents, siblings or just bring yourself. Enjoy an afternoon of swing dance music, gaming, snacks, crafts, board games, bingo and Wii bowling. Make a card or gift for a loved one!
Holocaust Remembrance

Peter Wigmore will describe his mother's experiences at Auschwitz, where she was subject to the brutal experiments of Dr. Josef Mengele. The Library will present this program in observance of the 71st anniversary of Kristallnacht. Kristallnacht, which occurred on November 9 and 10, 1938, was a coordinated assault on German and Austrian Jewish citizens. As a result, 30,000 people were sent to concentration camps.

Guitarist Dorian Michael
Guitarist Dorian Michael Wednesday, November 18 • 7-8 p.m. • Community Room

An evening of "contemporary traditional" fingerstyle acoustic instrumental guitar music.

Dorian Michael has been a working guitarist for four decades and in that time has played plenty of blues and folk, jazz and rock and roll. There has always been a huge variety of playing experience from smokey honky-tonks to theater orchestra pits. Says Dorian, "Some music makes you feel, some makes you think and some music is just for the fun of it. I try to get to all those places in the space of a performance."
