"Spotlight"

Today is the last of the library's four part journalism-themed film programs, and the film is Spotlight.  Although we saw it in the theater when it came out a few years ago, I am interested in seeing this excellent, thought-provoking film again.  This time, it will be introduced by film scholar Rick Winston who always offers us insight, both before the film and in the discussion that follows.  He's lowkey and encourages everyone to participate.

We've seen a couple of wonderful oldies like His Girl Friday and well as two more contemporary films this winter, and the audience is growing.  The first year we had the film series there was just a handful of people in the audience.  But this year there are about 30 there for the Saturday afternoon events each month.  The Friends of the Library support the series, and I hope we will do so again next winter.

Today I'm standing in for our librarian, setting up/taking down chairs, making popcorn (in a real movie popper so it is delicious), and introducing Rick.   My smaller quilt guild meets at the same time and I'm sorry to be missing it yet again. We meet one Saturday a month, mostly to do hand sewing on our own projects.  I'll look forward to seeing everyone again in April.
