In Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant is a socially awkward person who avoids contact with other people as much as possible and speaks what is on her mind. When she meets Raymond and together they help Sammy, she comes to realize that she doesn’t have to be isolated from other people. A heartwarming story of rescue from isolation.

The 1954 movie White Christmas was a hit even before it debuted; how was that
possible? How has it remained a perennial classic up through the present day? What
creative forces banded together to bring Irving Berlin, Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye,
Rosemary Clooney, Vera-Ellen, Mary Wickes, and others together to create a spectacular
moment in cinematic history? Librarian Laura Keyes will show you how the film was
created, who were the creative geniuses behind it, all with behind-the-scenes images and
historical information. Miss Keyes will be delighting audiences with her illustrated
lecture on Wednesday, December 11th at 10:30 AM.
