(Cazenovia, NY – Feb. 2015) The Cazenovia Public Library has scheduled the following events in March.
Irish Magic Show: Wednesday, March 4 at 6:30 pm in the Library Community Room
Children of all ages delight in the charm and enchantment of magical Ireland.
To introduce them to a clan of intriguing characters from Irish children’s literature, magician Debbie O’Carroll’s “Irish Magic Show” blends amazing stage magic with zany physical comedy, and lots of audience participation.
They will meet a comical ghostly Pooka and participate in an Irish language poem about a Banshee. They will discover the secrets of the Gruagach, meet an elusive sea serpent called the Ollphéist, encounter a crafty Far Darrig as well as a mischievous Leprechaun.
Tinker Bell and the Legend of the Never Beast: Friday, March 6 at 3:30 and 7:00 pm in the Library Community Room
Return to Pixie Hollow for a heartwarming adventure where fun and talented animal fairy Fawn believes you can’t judge a book by its cover—or an animal by its fangs. She befriends a huge and mysterious creature known as the Never Beast, but Tinker Bell and her friends aren’t so sure about this scary addition to Pixie Hollow.
When the elite Scout Fairies set out to capture the monster before he destroys their home, Fawn must take a leap of faith if she hopes to rally her fairy friends to save the Never Beast.
From Disneytoon Studios, Tinker Bell and the Legend of the Never Beast is rated G and runs for 76 minutes. Free popcorn.
LEGO My Library: Monday, March 9 at 3:30 pm in the Library Community Room
Children ages 4 and older and their families are invited to the popular LEGO My Library program. Using the Library’s collection of LEGO and Duplo blocks, children and their families will have the opportunity to build and create something spectacular.
The Library is a place for discovery and imagination, and this building program fits that mission. Building offers children the experience of making their imaginative musings come to life. By introducing them to these hands-on experiences with science and math, children not only learn how to build different structures but also how to make them stronger and taller.
Great Minds Lecture Series: Tuesday, March 10 at 7:00 pm in the Library Community Room
“A Consideration of Rollo May: the Father of Existential Psychotherapy” will be presented by Dr. Michael Holdren, Associate Professor of Psychology at Cazenovia College.
Rollo May’s synthesis of Freudian Psychoanalysis and Kierkegaardian Existentialism provides contemporary insight as we struggle with the anxieties and emptiness of an increasingly lost and lonely existence amid a sea of changing values and technologies.
As May noted, “technology is the knack of so arranging the world that we do not experience it.” So how can we shake the technology fatigue and malaise? In his lecture, Dr. Holdren will cover how Rollo May stresses the importance of slowing down and reconnecting with nature, ourselves and others.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 on Friday, March 13 at 3:15 and 6:30 pm in the Community Room
In this film, Katniss Everdeen is in District 13 after she shatters the games forever. Under the leadership of President Coin and the advice of her trusted friends, Katniss spreads her wings as she fights to save Peeta and a nation moved by her courage.
This film is rated PG-13 and runs for 123 minutes. Free popcorn.
