LAKEWOOD PUBLIC CINEMA: Top Hat (1935) Directed by Mark Sandrich Suitable for all ages
“All is fair in Love and War and this is Revolution!” Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dance and sing and fall in love. There is a plot of sorts, but does it really matter? With a legendary score by Irving Berlin and comic turns by Edward Everett Horton and Eric Blore, you’ll be laughing and dancing your way out of the Library.

SUNDAY WITH THE FRIENDS: The Romance of Woodrow and Edith Wilson
In the midst of World War I, the president had been widowed for less than a year when he became involved with Edith Bolling Galt—an unspeakable scandal for the time. Stephanie Vetrone portrays the woman who married a sitting president and single-handedly held his administration together when he was felled by a stroke.

FIVE STAR FILMS:Jet Lag (2002-France) Directed by Danièle Thompson
Rated PG
This delightful art house romantic comedy stars Juliette Binoche as a cosmetologist running away from the boyfriend she wants to forget and Jean Reno as a man of cooking, who’s chasing after a woman he can’t live without. The unlikely pair cross paths and gradually share slices of their lives. (Even Reno’s irreconcilable ingredient issues with his father.) Will they overcome these personal problems and journey on together—or not? French with English Subtitles.

BOOKED FOR MURDER
Tonight’s book discussion is about Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz. Izzy Spellman knows that when the family business is private investigating, your love life isn’t safe from scrutiny.

KNIT & LIT BOOK CLUB
Lynda Tuennerman hosts a social club for multitaskers—a book club and a stitchery group! She’s looking for readers who can enjoy intense discussion of modern classics while relaxing with their latest stitching project. Come share your passion for great literature and show off your knitting, crocheting, counted cross-stitch, embroidery and quilting works-in-progress. At each meeting, the group decides what will be read next. Call (216) 226-8275 ext. 127 or visit www.lkwdpl.org/bookclubs to learn more.
