Wilsonville
Library
By GREG MARTIN
Several September
events to choose from
It’s September,
and that means it’s
“back to” month!
Whether it’s back to
school, back to
work, or back
MARTIN
against the wall, the
cavernous Wilson-
ville Public Library most certainly
has something of interest to you
and yours this month!
Here’s what’s happening in
September on the adult side of
the library:
On Monday, Sept. 2, we will be
closed in honor of Labor Day. “We’ll
celebrate work by playing all day.”
Here’s hoping you have something fun
planned. If you miss us that day, you
can call our automated renewal line at
503-659-8634, or just renew online.
We’ll return promptly on Tuesday,
Sept. 3.
On Friday, Sept. 6, at 6 p.m. our
First Friday Film program returns.
This month, we’ll watch a comedy
about a group of women who form a
cheer-leading squad at their retire-
ment community, proving that you’re
never too old to bring it! Come on in
and enjoy this free film with free
snacks and free hard plastic chairs!
It’s a new free class! Beginning Sun-
day, Sept. 8, from 1:30-3 p.m. and con-
tinuing through Sunday, Sept. 29, we
present the Banned in America class,
taught by Dr. Bill Thierfelder. Each
September, the American Library As-
sociation releases its list of the Top 10
challenged or banned books in our
country. These bans and challenges
(failed attempts at a ban) target not
only literature, but other media as
well — affecting DVDs, databases, dis-
plays and art exhibits. This four-week
course, examines the historical origins
of censorship and banning and then
explores some of the books and films
currently on the ALA’s Top 10 list.
The class is presented at no cost, but
please sign up at the library, in person
or by phone to reserve your seat.
Do you know someone who would
like to brush up on English skills?
Please tell them about our English
Conversation Group. Held on Monday
evenings Sept. 9, 16, 23, and 30, begin-
ning 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 comprehen-
sive level are welcome, and no regis-
tration is required.
On Tuesday, Sept. 10, 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 dis-
cussing The Republic by Plato. Call or
email us to join our Great Books e-
mailing list and receive monthly scans
of (or links to) our readings.
On Thursday, Sept. 12, come in for a
presentation by local historian Sig Un-
ander, Jr. on the West Coast Hurri-
cane: The Columbus Day Storm. The
greatest natural disaster to hit the re-
gion, this extra-tropical cyclone dev-
astated the Pacific Northwest in the
fall of 1962. The widespread destruc-
tion and long, costly recovery left
memorable stories of survival and re-
silience and important lessons for the
future. Free, no sign-up required!
On Saturday, Sept.14, at 2 p.m. visit
us for our first Cabaret Variety Show!
You Speak English, Don’t You? is a
family-friendly, lively show that tells
the true love story of a Czech-Ameri-
can couple. Learn through song and
dance how they met in Europe and
eventually married, moved to the U.S.
and made their living here. A question
and answer session follows the perfor-
mance, with one of the players, Hele-
na, sharing what her life was like
growing up behind the Iron Curtain
and emigrating to the West.
The Genealogy Club, meets again
on Monday, Sept. 16, at 1 p.m. Join Ma-
lia for helpful tips and tricks for all
