    LES MISERABLES

Stars: Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Sacha Baron Cohen, Helena Bonham Carter, Eddie Redmayne

Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Misérables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption—a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Ex-prisoner Jean Valjean is hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine’s young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever. The world’s longest-running musical brings its power to the big screen in Tom Hooper’s sweeping and spectacular interpretation of Victor Hugo’s epic tale.

2012, 158 minutes, rated PG-13

Priority seating given to Great Neck Residents. Please bring your Library Card or Driver's License. Ten (10) minutes before the film begins no seat may be held and Non-Resident's will be seated if space permits.

misc_new_blue 2:00 PM  -  3:30 PM The Tyranny of Stuff: Why It's So Hard To Say Goodbye
with Judi Culbertson
Remind Me about this Event Download Event Info Tell a Friend
    Why, when we buy an expensive but painful-to-wear pair of shoes, do they have to sit in the closet for several years before we can give them away? What does the “endowment effect” and other behavioral economic principles have to do with the way we live? Our relationship to our physical world is endlessly fascinating and complex. Author Judi Culbertson will explore why knowing the meaning of your clothes, etc. is so important in respect to how we deal with keeping and giving-away. Questions and discussion after the program.

Judi Culbertson draws this presentation from a 12-week course she taught at Stony Brook University, “The Psychology of Stuff.” She is the author of several books including Scaling Down: Living Large in a Smaller Space and The Clutter Cure.

    Josh Farrar, author of A Song for Bijou and Rules to Rock By will share his writing and musical expertise with teens this summer. The Creative Workshops on July 22 and 29 are a great opportunity to meet and learn from a published Young Adult Author and Musician.

Stranger Than Fiction: Art of Storytelling
Creative Workshop 1

In this workshop, the first of two, Josh will share the ins and outs of his storytelling process. A lifelong songwriter, Josh will trace his own transition from writing three minute songs to three hundred page novels. Because storytelling can involve so many unique art forms, you’ll be asked to discuss some of your favorite books, music videos, songs and video games, and the way these media are used to tell powerful stories. Finally, Josh will lead a writing exercise in which you will be asked to write and share a short piece of writing about an inspiring person in your life.

Teens are encouraged to attend both the July 22 and July 29 workshops and there is separate registration for each workshop.

Registration starts June 10.

    Josh Farrar, author of A Song for Bijou and Rules to Rock By will share his writing and musical expertise with teens this summer. The Creative Workshops on July 22 and 29 are a great opportunity to meet and learn from a published Young Adult Author and Musician.

Stranger Than Fiction: Art of Storytelling
Creative Workshop 2

In the second workshop, Josh will get deeper into the storytelling process and the decisions writers make when crafting a story. A novelist who is inspired as much by musicians and filmmakers as by other writers, Josh will talk about some of the universal principles of storytelling, like genre, structure and point of view. He’ll talk about some well-known movies, and break them down so you can understand what the writers were up to behind the scenes. Finally, Josh will lead you in a fun writing activity where you get to plot a story of your own.

Teens are encouraged to attend both the July 22 and July 29 workshops and there is separate registration for each workshop.

Registration starts June 10

    Join us for Lit Chat & Chit Chat, a book club designed for adults with special needs that allows participants to share in the joys of reading, to listen, and to socialize with peers in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Our goals are to facilitate a love of reading, increase confidence in one’s reading abilities, and to hopefully build friendships in the process.

This social group’s primary purpose is to help those that have transitioned out of the school system to maintain and improve literacy skills, increase communication, and facilitate relationships.

Come one, come all to brush up on vocabulary, read aloud, listen to others, share jokes, discuss the relationship of the ideas and themes of the book to real life events, and cheer each other on. Attendees are invited to bring snacks. Don’t miss out on the fun.

To register by phone or for more information call 466-8055, ext. 208 or 246. To register at our website: greatnecklibrary.org

    Join us for Lit Chat & Chit Chat, a book club designed for adults with special needs that allows participants to share in the joys of reading, to listen, and to socialize with peers in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Our goals are to facilitate a love of reading, increase confidence in one’s reading abilities, and to hopefully build friendships in the process.

This social group’s primary purpose is to help those that have transitioned out of the school system to maintain and improve literacy skills, increase communication, and facilitate relationships.

Come one, come all to brush up on vocabulary, read aloud, listen to others, share jokes, discuss the relationship of the ideas and themes of the book to real life events, and cheer each other on. Attendees are invited to bring snacks. Don’t miss out on the fun.

To register by phone or for more information call 466-8055, ext. 208 or 246. To register at our website: greatnecklibrary.org

    QUARTET

Stars: Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon, Billy Connolly, Tom Courtenay, Pauline Collins

The rumor circling the halls is that Beecham House (the home for retired musicians) is soon to play host to a new resident. Word is, it's a star. Reginald, Wilfred and Cecily are in for a special shock when the new arrival turns out to be none other than their former singing partner, Jean. Her subsequent career as a star soloist, and the ego that accompanied it, split up their long friendship and ended her marriage to Reggie, who takes the news of her arrival particularly hard.

2013, 99 minutes, rated PG-13

A Message of Perseverance, Determination, Faith, and Hope

Family Program


An author talk and book signing by Marion Blumenthal Lazan of her award-winning memoir, Four Perfect Pebbles: A Holocaust Story. Co-authored by Lila Perl.

A moving first-hand account of the Blumenthal family's life in Germany from the events preceding Kristallnacht to imprisonment in concentration camps to liberation in April of 1945. Mrs. Lazan was 11 years old when the family finally gained its freedom.

Marion Blumenthal Lazan’s presentation goes beyond the facts. It stresses the importance of positive thinking to overcome adversity. It asks the audience to be tolerant of others and not stereotype individuals based on religious belief, color, race or national origin. She warns her listeners to be true to themselves and not blindly follow-the-leader. Today’s generation is the last generation to hear a first-hand account.

Marion Blumenthal Lazan is an inspirational speaker whose unforgettable memoir recalls the devastating years that shaped her childhood. She has been speaking out publicly about the Holocaust since 1979 at schools, organizations and other venues in the United States and all over the world. Many schools are using Marion's memoir in the study of the Holocaust.

Remind Me about this Event Download Event Info Tell a Friend
    TWO WOMEN, TWO WORLDS, ONE CHALLENGE

10-minute Film Short and Discussion with filmmaker Barbara Sutton Masry.

A Wake-up Call is an independent film written by Barbara Sutton Masry and Adam Nadler. New York actors have depicted the surprise party given to DeeDee Cohen by her family following her last chemo session. This 10-minute short is the opening sequence of what will be the full-length film. Also standing alone as a beautiful, moving short, it has been entered into a national competition and will soon be submitted to the short-film festival circuit.

DeeDee Cohen, from the tight-knit, traditional Syrian-Jewish community in Brooklyn, feels lost and aimless after her bout with breast cancer--until she befriends Angela Williams, a young African-American girl struggling with the disease without insurance. A Wake-up Call explores the after-effects of cancer on two families and the evolution of a couple's self-awareness, growth and renewal. A Wake-up Call vividly dramatizes the racial and political aspects of cancer in our society.

with Mary Vahey
Remind Me about this Event Download Event Info Tell a Friend
    The Frick Collection is the final venue of an American tour of paintings from the Royal Picture Gallery Mauritshuis, The Hague. This prestigious Dutch museum, which has not lent a large body of works from its holdings in nearly thirty years, is undergoing an extensive two-year renovation that makes this opportunity possible.

The fifteen paintings coming to the Frick, all highlights of the Mauritshuis collection, represent the range of subject matter and technique prevalent in seventeenth-century painting in The Netherlands. They include Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, c. 1665; four works by Rembrandt van Rijn (Simeon’s Song of Praise, 1631; “Tronie” of a Man with a Feathered Beret, c. 1635; Susanna, 1636, and Portrait of an Elderly Man, 1667); and Frans Hals’s pendant portraits of Jacob Olycan (1596–1638) and Aletta Hanemans (1606–1653), both painted in 1625.

Mary Vahey is an art historian and professor who has taught at NYIT, SUNY - Suffolk, Hofstra, L.I.U. - Southampton, and Pratt Institute.

holiday_ghost 2:00 PM  -  3:30 PM Haunted Hotels of the Catskills
presented by Monica Randall
Remind Me about this Event Download Event Info Tell a Friend
    The sprawling grand hotels of yesteryear hold a certain fascination for most of us, but they are mostly ghost hotels today. During the last century both the rich and middle class boarded steamships and the Hudson River Railroad and headed for the elegant palaces in the Catskills. Perched high atop the cliffs overlooking the river and glacial lakes - some of these hotels had as many as 800 rooms. When prohibition hit in 1917, the Catskills became a popular playground for gangsters and bootleggers.

In this slide presentation, Monica Randall will review the great hotels and luxury resorts of the past century and visit the haunting ruins that remain today.

Monica Randall, Long Island historian, is the best-selling author of Mansions of the Gold Coast, Winfield, and Phantoms of the Hudson Valley.

ent_film-reel 2:00 PM  -  4:00 PM The Power of Bro
Brothers Ronen & Eyal Yaari
Documentary Film by Ofer Cohen
Remind Me about this Event Download Event Info Tell a Friend
    Ofer Cohen's moving new documentary Power of Bro tells the remarkable story of the two Yaari brothers, born in Israel where a timeless bond was formed. Ronen becomes an adventurer and world traveler and Eyal evolves into a brilliant computer programmer and on track to greatness. Without much warning, their ideal lives get interrupted by personal loss, Parkinson's and heart disease. Power of Bro is a moving tale of how the Yaari brothers hit the road in an epic bid to transform their challenges into personal triumphs and in the process come full circle.

The film follows Ronen and Eyal as they participate in The Hazon Israel Ride 2011. The cross-Israel ride, which is hosted by the Arava Institute, for the co-existence of Arabs and Jews, provided the perfect backdrop for the empowering adventure the Yaari brothers took on their tandem bike "Camello." They rode through the landscape of their childhood dealing with both physical and mental hills in search of both inner and outer peace.
