Program Description
Event Details
Every month we will read a new play, then meet up to discuss it and read key scenes out loud together. Perfect for bookworms and thespians alike!
This month, we will be reading The Children's Hour by Lillian Hellman. Scripts are available for pick-up at the Circulation Desk.
"The Children's Hour is a drama set in an all-girls boarding school run by two women, Karen Wright and Martha Dobie. An angry student, Mary Tilford, runs away from the school and, to avoid being sent back, tells her grandmother that the two headmistresses are having an affair. The accusation proceeds to destroy the women's careers, relationships, and lives. The play was first staged on Broadway at the Maxine Elliott Theatre in 1934, produced and directed by Herman Shumlin. In 1961, it was made into a film starring Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine."
Curtain Callers is a collaboration with the Brookfield Theatre, and is hosted at their location next door at 184 Whisconier Rd.
This book club is open to adults, and teens age 16 and up.

New Guidelines on Program Attendance
We understand that sometimes, unexpected instances can occur that may prevent you from attending a program that you registered for. If you find that you are unable to attend an event, please give us a call, email us, or cancel your registration online. This will afford others who would like to attend, the opportunity to participate.
Unfortunately, absences without prior notification and extreme tardiness have been hindering library staff from carrying out programs to the best of our abilities. Even more importantly, these disruptive behaviors are undermining the positive experiences of other participants. The Library's Patron Behavior Policy explicitly states that behavior that “interferes with the enjoyment of the library by other individuals” can result in adverse consequences.
Therefore, we feel it’s important to announce our new guidelines for program attendance. Beginning on July 1st, any registrant for an adult program who is a “no-show” and/or is more than 15 minutes late for two events will subsequently be moved to the waitlist for the next program they register for.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping make our library programs pleasurable and meaningful for all.
