At the Library
By Mike Selby
Cranbrook Public Library
New this week at the Cranbrook Public Library is the Blu-ray and DVD release of ‘Selma.’ For all of its flaws (Oprah’s polarizing presence, a mostly British cast, and the producers inability to secure the rights to Martin Luther King’s actual speeches), Selma (pictured above) remains a cinematic marvel – expertly telling the story of Martin Luther King’s dangerous and terrifying campaign that culminated with an epic march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama in 1964.
Readers of all ages can be inspired by Daniel Lipkowitz latest book ‘LEGO Awesome Ideas.’
Preschool Story Time is Wednesday at 11 a.m., 1:15 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., and Toddler Story Time is 10 and 11 a.m. Both will be all about Mittens
FOOD FOR FINES: For the entire month of December, the Library will be accepting donations of nonperishable food as payment for overdue fines. One item will be worth one dollar of fines. Any canned or boxed nonperishable food items will be accepted. All donations will be delivered to the food bank throughout the holiday season. This is a great way to get rid of those pesky overdue fines while helping others in need.
