A happy April to
all. Will this finally be
the month that spring
truly arrives? Stay
tuned!
Here's what's
happening this month
on the adult side of
the Library:
■ Free Tax Help continues this
month, until it's too late! Visit on the
first two Saturdays — the 6th and 13th
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. No reservations
necessary, but it may be crowded, so
we suggest you arrive early. For best
results, don't forget to bring your 2017
tax return and associated documents
with you.
■ On Friday, April 5, at 6 p.m., our
First Friday Film program trickles
down, as would a refreshing spring
rain. This month, we'll be screening a
dramatic film about a fictional
character, Dr. Don Shirley, a world-
class African-American pianist, who
is about to embark on a concert tour
in the Deep South in 1962. In need of a
driver and protection, Shirley recruits
Tony Lip, a tough-talking bouncer
from an Italian-American
neighborhood in the Bronx. Despite
their differences, the two men develop
a bond while confronting racism and
danger in an era of segregation. If you
can't figure out the title of this film,
give us a call at the library, and we'll
quietly tell you! Free admission, and
we've even got snacks!
■ Do you know someone who
would like to brush up on English?
Please tell them about our new
English Conversation Group. Every
Monday evening (April 1, 8, 15, 22 and
29), beginning at 6 p.m.) participants
can drop in to learn and practice
English in this free, informal class.
Speakers of any language and any
English comprehensive level are
welcome, and no registration is
required.
■ Also for English-learners, we
have an ESL class that meets on
Thursdays, April 4, 11, 18 and 25 from
1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. The class is
conducted informally by an
experienced ESL instructor. No pre-
registration is required and the class
is free. Call Deborah Gitlitz (ella habla
español) for further information —
503-570-1582.
■ On Tuesday, April 9, at 6 p.m.,
our Great Books Discussion Group
gathers. Are you interested in
philosophy and the big questions of
life? Join us each month for a
roundtable discussion of how modern
day issues are reflected and
illuminated by the great Western
classic books. This month, we'll be
discussing "The Inferno," by Dante
Alighieri. Call or email us to join our
Great Books e-mailing list and receive
monthly scans of our readings.
■ Do you need information for
yourself, a friend or loved one about
what services and programs are
available for older adults, people with
disabilities and veterans? Are you
looking for meaningful volunteer
work? Have you become
overwhelmed with understanding
Medicare, caring for a relative,
planning for long-term care or worry
for someone's safety? Do you know
where to start looking for help? On
Wednesday, April 10, at 6:30 p.m.,
come learn about the types of private
and public resources available to
individuals looking for assistance and
about the Aging and Disability
Resource Connection (ADRC), a free
central source of information for all
income levels. Sign up at the
circulation desk (no charge) to
reserve your seat! Presented by
Clackamas County Social Services.
■ On Saturday, April 13, at 2 p.m.,
our very popular BookNotes concert
series will take the stage. This time,
we're featuring Paema, a women's
ensemble who perform for the
enjoyment of harmony and sharing
their love of music. Their broad
repertoire stems from that of holiday
— both sacred and secular, classic art
songs, to contemporary and
Broadway. Come to this free event
and hear their lovely, dulcet tones
echo throughout the library!
■ Hooray! It's the Genealogy Club,
meeting again on Monday, April 15, at
1 p.m., which, fittingly, just happens
to be both tax AND genealogy day!
Join Malia at 1 p.m. for helpful tips
and tricks for all levels from
beginners to seasoned genealogists.
Discover new genealogical resources
and tools, discuss personal research
and goals, and learn from others! ■
