2012 Twin Towers

SURVIVORTuesday, October 2 at 7 PM

One floor higher and he wouldn’t be here. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear George Sleigh’s story of escape. When American Airlines Flight 11

plowed into the northern aspect of WTC One on Sept. 11, 2001, 62-year old naval architect, George Sleigh, was in a north-facing office on the telephone to a colleague, and no one on the floors above him survived. Within two hours, he was scrambling for his very survival, and the Twin Towers were reduced to a pile of rubble. Call 330-688-3295 ext. 4 or register online at www.smfpl.org. Please call if you need to cancel your reservation. This free program is part of the Library’s Living History series devoted to the personal stories of people involved in some of history’s most striking events. •

Each month the Outreach Services team

brings materials to various Retirement Communities and Senior Buildings in Stow and Munroe Falls. Additionally, they provide a drop off service to several area nursing facilities. For those who cannot come to the library due to age, illness or injury, the library also provides Homebound Delivery Services. For more information, contact Outreach Librarian, Jess Alloggia, at 330-688-3295, ext. 129.

Our services continue to expand! Beginning this month, we will be delivering items to Maison Aine for their “Armchair Travel” series and various programs. Once a month, we will drop off travel DVDs, books and music to be enjoyed by the residents.

On October 2nd, the Outreach team will be participating in the second annual Health and Wellness Expo at Stow Kent Gardens on Marsh Road from 11:00am until 2:00pm. The theme is “Enhance Your Life.” Come check us out!

Outreach recommends…Before I Go to Sleep by S.J.

WatsonImagine going to bed every

night only to wake up in the morning and forget everything about yourself. Christine relies on her husband, Ben, to explain her life to her on a daily basis, after a mysterious accident renders her an amnesiac. Her doctor encourages her to start writing a journal to help jog her memory. One morning, she opens it to reveal three words that are utterly terrifying: “Don’t trust Ben.” What kind of accident did this to her? Why is Ben lying to her? Whom can she trust? Can she even trust herself? Memories define us. How can we know who we are if we can’t even remember?

“This was a really good book. I love mysteries and thrillers, and I’ve recommended this to several of my friends.” Lillian J., Keys Towers

Schindler’s List (1993) starring Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes and Ben Kingsley

This multiple award winning film (including an Oscar for Best Picture) chronicles the feats of Oskar Schindler, a German businessman, who saved the lives of over 1,200 Jewish people during the Nazi persecution. Based on true events and directed by Steven Spielberg, this film shows how one man turns the profit for his business into the saving grace of many.

Outreach Spotlightby Jessica Alloggia Outreach Librarian

Valkyrie (2008) starring Tom Cruise, Bill Nighy and Carice van Houten

During Nazi Germany, a group of army officers devise a plan to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Led by Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, played by Tom Cruise, the group decides to link the act with an official policy to safeguard Berlin during a government crisis: a contingency plan called “Valkyrie.” This thriller takes the audience into the very center of the group as the plan is being hatched to rid the world of one of its most evil tyrants.

“I liked these movies because they were based on true stories. There was a lot of action, and I enjoyed the actors, especially in Schindler’s List.” Margaret V., Stow Kent Gardens •
