Woman in Gold to be Shown
(Cazenovia, NY – July 2015) The Cazenovia Public Library is pleased to bring Helen Mirren’s latest masterpiece Woman in Gold to the Community Room screen July 10 at 1 and 6:30 p.m.
Starring Mirren and Ryan Reynolds the film tells the story of remarkable true story of one woman’s journey to reclaim her heritage and seek justice for what happened to her family. Sixty years after she fled Vienna during World War II, an elderly Jewish woman, Maria Altmann, starts her journey to retrieve family possessions seized by the Nazis, among them Klimt’s famous painting Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I. Together with her inexperienced but plucky young lawyer Randy Schoenberg, she embarks upon a major battle which takes them all the way to the heart of the Austrian establishment and the U.S. Supreme Court, and forces her to confront difficult truths about the past along the way.

The film is rated PG-13 and runs for 108 minutes. All movies are shown on the big screen in the Library Community Room. As always, admission and popcorn are free.
Doodle with a Purpose Workshop
All are invited to join Jeanette Robertson Michael, local artist and author of books on how to make greeting cards, for “Doodle with a Purpose,” a drawing workshop in the Cazenovia Public Library Community Room on Friday, July 17 from 10 a.m. to noon
If you can hold a pen, you can do this art form. There is no right or wrong, and all that’s needed is a desire to have fun.
Since almost everyone doodles from time to time, this workshop will give participants an opportunity to use lots of lines and shapes to turn those ordinary doodles into an art form. In the end, not only is art created, but the brain is also exercised, focus is sharpened, and eye/hand coordination is increased.
Space for this workshop is limited. Stop by or call the Library at 655-9322 to reserve a spot. All materials will be provided.
Watch for details on the second workshop “Iris Folding” to be held on Friday, August 21st.
“Doodle with a Purpose” is free and open to the public.
For more information on the workshop or other events at the Cazenovia Public Library, call 655-9322 or visit www.cazenoviapubliclibrary.org.
