Chill out Sunday Movie

 

Sunday, November 15 at 2:00 p.m.

Spend a Sunday afternoon at the movies with us here at the Arroyo Seco Library. We’ll be screening Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. 

Despite literally having feet of clay, a bumbling inventor and his silent canine best friend stand up to a menacing, marauding beast laying waste to the vegetable patches in their English village. A giddy stop-motion animation gem that continues the sublimely marvelous misadventures of Nick Park's lovable duo. Features the voice talents of Peter Sallis, Ralph Fiennes and Helena Bonham Carter.

Everyone is welcome!

The Arroyo Book Club November Pick….

November is a non-fiction month for the Arroyo Book Club. We will be reading The Wager by David Grann.  The pull quote from the New York Times says the book is…

 "a page-turning story of shipwreck, survival, and savagery, culminating in a court martial that reveals a shocking truth. The powerful narrative reveals the deeper meaning of the events on The Wager, showing that it was not only the captain and crew who ended up on trial, but the very idea of empire."

Stop by the branch for a copy of the book. 

We will come together to discuss the book on Saturday, November 28 at 3 p.m. It will be a hybrid meeting so you have the option of attending in person or via Zoom. If you’d like to join us via Zoom send an email to ayosco@lapl.org so we can get the link to you.

The Charm Offensive

 

The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun is romance with a difference. Dev Deshpande is a producer on a reality TV series called Ever After. Ever After is a dating show kind of along the lines of the Bachelor. Dev is a romantic and deeply believes that the show offers a path to true love.  Charlie Winshaw comes on the show as the current season’s contestant. Charlie is awkward, anxious, and on the show in an attempt to rescue his image. Dev is put in charge of getting Charlie into the swing of things.  Soon it becomes clear that there is chemistry between Dev & Charlie, more chemistry then there is between Charlie and any of the other contestants. Throw in a manipulative producer, a cadre of helpful friends, and a host of mental health quirks and things soon take a turn.

A cute romance with things to say about what love is and what we expect from relationships. I would recommend it
