Family Movie Day
At The Library
Rated PG
At a New Year's Eve party, Troy (Zac Efron) has a chance meeting with Gabriella (Vanessa Anne Hudgens) when they share a karaoke song. Lo and behold, when school resumes, they discover that Gabriella has just transferred to Troy's East High School, a campus divided into tight cliques of jocks, cheerleaders, brainiacs, and skater dudes. Eager to recapture the magic they'd discovered during karaoke, Troy and Gabriella consider auditioning for the school's upcoming musical, much to the dismay of the school's frost queen/theater goddess, Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale). Problem is, Troy is also the star of the basketball team and Gabrielle is being recruited to compete in the Scholastic Decathlon. Will they give up their cliques to start something new?
August 3 - High School Musical 2 (G) August 24 - Hairspray (PG)

Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) 2 hr., 6 mins.
A musical portrait of composer/singer/dancer George M. Cohan. From his early days as a child-star in his family's vaudeville show up to the time of his comeback at which he received a medal from the president for his special contributions to the US, this is the life- story of George M. Cohan, who produced, directed, wrote and starred in his own musical shows for which he composed his famous songs.
July 25 - Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (James Stewart)
The Anime Club will meet 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. Jeff Delfield, director of the library, said he was excited about having anime at the library. "We’ve been trying to reach teens in our community. We hope that amime will get them excited about coming to the library!"
Several anime shows will be featured each week, including the popular gothic drama "Death Note" and the wacky high-school comedy "Haruhi Suzumiya." Fans are also invited to bring anime from home to show at the club. For more information, call the library at 828-488-3030.
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.
The band currently has four members: David Russell, who may have lost count of the exact number of musical instruments he plays, but he is capable of playing at least a dozen at the performance level; Amanda Burts plays recorder and accordion; Ralph Wright-Murphy, who is a classically trained baritone, sings, plays bodhran (Irish drum) and guitar; and rounding out the group is Karin Lyle, a professional musician from Waynesville who plays harp and violin, and can be found teaching at the Balsam Gallery Dulcimer Shop in Waynesville.
August 27 - Larry Barnett
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.
My love affair with fibers began long ago as I observed my Mother and many other family members sewing clothing, quilting, tatting, crocheting and knotting. My grandmothers and great grandmothers were also spinners, mostly using the yarn produced for knitting socks and sweaters. At a very early age, I learned to sew my own clothes and to crochet. About 39 years ago I met a dear friend who introduced me to weaving and spinning. I also quilt and am drawn to the traditional patterns of our wonderful WNC mountains. My life has been enriched greatly with fibers and I continue to enjoy taking the time out of my day to pursue one of my many "current projects".
