If you are 55 and older, join us for Senior Social Hour on Wednesdays at the Central Library. Each week we will have different activities and presenters where you can join in a fun activity, learn, and make friends.
In honor of America's 250th birthday, come watch a two hour segment of PBS's popular documentary THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION and stay for a quick wrap-up discussion afterwards and socialize with others. Lunch will be provided for those who attend the screening of the documentary.
The American Revolution, PBS's six-part, twelve-hour series on America’s founding struggle, will present the story of the men and women of the Revolutionary generation, their humanity in victory and defeat, and the crisis that they lived through. By weaving together accounts of American political leaders and their British counterparts with the perspectives of the so-called ordinary people who waged and witnessed war, The American Revolution will be an expansive, evenhanded look at the virtues and the contradictions in the fight for independence and the birth of the United States.
