Family Movie Day
At The Library
May 12 - 3:30 pm 85 mins.
May 19 - 3:30 pm G - 79 mins.
England is in the midst of a dark age and without a proper king, Young "Wart," an orphan and squire-in-training, is content with kitchen duties in his foster home – until he drops in on the extraordinary wizard Merlin and his articulate owl, Archimedes. Through three life lessons, Wart learns to set his "sights on the heights," armed with the most powerful forces on earth – intellect, wisdom, and love. When it's time to contest who will be king, Wart must use his newfound knowledge to do what no mighty knight has done before!
Free Music Programs At The Library We're all about music on Thursday evenings. Come join us for a variety of free programs, most of which are held on the front lawn of the Library - weather permitting.
First & Third Thursdays
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.
"I love the energy of being an artist, but most particularly creating this beautiful jewelry, letting that energy flow through my hands into the stones." Website

The Sword in the Stone (1963)
Whittier resident RuthAnne Brown took her first class in beginning wire art in 1991 at William Holland School of Lapidary Arts in Young Harris, Georgia. She followed up with her first advanced class with Jessie Donan. In 2002, she took two more advanced classes with Virgina Tutterow and Ruth Ann Moore respectively.
RuthAnne says, "I began my creative experience with music. Then in later years I became certified as a florist. I worked in the florist industry ten years, with my own shop and working for other florists.
