Family Movie Day
At The Library
August 3 - Animated under the sea adventure and sequel to one of the most celebrated animated films of all time! Ariel and Eric must hide their precious daughter Melody's mermaid heritage to protect her from Ursula's revengeful sister Morgana. But when the lure of the sea proves too strong for Melody, they call upon King Triton and all the good creatures on land and under the waves to help rescue their daughter and restore harmony to the seas.
The Anime Club meets at the library twice a month, on the second and fourth Saturday of each month, from 11 am - 3 pm.
As any fan knows, anime (pronounced "ah-ni-may") is animation from Japan. But these are nothing like kiddie cartoons. These shows, full of action, adventure and outrageous humor, have gained a huge following in the United States. They are popular among middle and high school students, and especially on college campuses.
Now Bryson City has an anime club of its own, and for fans, this is a chance to watch anime on a big screen, with a theater-style cound systsem. Several popular shows are featured eash sesion, including the popular gothic drama "Death Note" and "Inu Yasha," along with harder-to-find titles such as "IGPX" and "Noein." Fans are also invited to bring anime from home to show at the club. For more information, call the library at 828-488-3030.
Enjoy Hollywood's Golden Age! The movies are shown on the second and fourth Saturday of every month at 4 pm. The movies are FREE and projected onto an 8 X 10 foot screen, with a theater sound system. Popcorn will be provided by the Friends of the Marianna Black Library.
Due to Production Studio guidelines the library may not include movie titles or studio names in its advertising. Please call the library for more information.
August will feature James Cagney films.
In addition to our twice-monthly community jams, come join us for a variety of free music programs, most of which are held on the front lawn of the Library - weather permitting; otherwise they are held in the library auditorium. Snacks and refreshments will be provided by the Friends of the Marianna Black Library. Video montages of most of our concerts are on youtube. December jamming always includes holiday favorites.
SUMMER SCHEDULE

August 19 - Community Music Jam. 6-7:30 pm. (see below)
September 2 - Community Music Jam. 6-7:30 pm. (see below)
FIRST & THIRD THURSDAYS, EVERY MONTH
Weather permitting, the jams are on the front lawn of the library. In December we always include holiday favorites in the mix. Anyone with a banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle (anything unplugged) is invited. Larry Barnett of Grandpa's Music (Depot Street) keeps the music flowing and the fun going. Normally, Barnett calls out a tune and its signature, and the group plays it together; but there's also a chance for anyone to share with the group a song they would like to perform. The community jams offer a chance for musicians of all ages and levels of ability to share music they have learned over the years or learn the old-time mountain songs. This program receives support from the North Carolina Arts Council, an agency funded by the State of North Carolina and the National Endowment of the Arts, which believes a great nation deserves great art.
Erin has worked with oil and acrylic paints for more than 18 years. She creates distinguished hand painted ornaments, portraits, landscapes on canvas and painted scenes on wood and saw blades.
One of her heirloom Christmas ornaments was chosen to adorn the Blue Room Christmas tree in the White House in 1998.
Erin currently teaches at Tri-County Community College in Murphy. She can be reached at 828-736-6938 for more information about her art.

August 12 - Sawmill Creek Porch Band. 7-8 pm.
Join us for a special treat— a reunion performance of one of the mainstay bluegrass
bands in Bryson City until their breakup in 2008.
Larry Barnett (banjo, fiddle and vocals), Bradley
Adams (mandolin and vocals) and Aaron
Plantenberg (guitar and vocals) played together as
Sawmill Creek Porch Band, recording two cds
and playing area venues constantly for almost a
decade. All three are still active in the local music scene, but it’s a rare treat to see them play together. Come see some great picking and what all the fuss is about! 
August 26 - Deep Woods Frolic. 7-8 pm. Deep Woods Frolic performs traditional folk music, old and new "standards" including swing and pop, and original compositions. The members are Merritt Shaw (guitar and percussion), Chris Sobek (bass and vocals), Andy LaTorre (piano and accordion), and Tom Tyre (guitar, fiddle, banjo and vocals). The group's motto has long been "no song shall be spared" because of their willingness to embrace music which crosses all genres. Deep Woods Frolic's performances have been called "funny," "folksy-but-current," and "right on target."
September 9 - Lee Knight. 7-8 pm. Known as "The Man of Two Mountains," Lee was born and raised in the Adirondack Mountains of New York before settling in the Appalachian Mountains that he now calls home. He is intimate with the music and stories from both areas, including those of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians. Lee currently works as a folk singer, story teller and outdoor leader. He plays various instruments, including the five-string banjo, various guitars, the Appalachian dulcimer, the mouth bow, the Cherokee flute and the Cherokee rattle, as well as the Native American drum.
