Calendar

It's a freezing night in Cincinnati, Ohio, and homeless shelters are overfull. Desperately cold people flock to the library to keep warm, then decide to stage a protest, refusing to leave at closing time. It's a peaceful sit-in... but gets dicey after the police are called in. Emilio Estevez’s fascinating new film has a star-studded cast that tackles important issues like addiction, mental health, and homelessness while foregrounding the beneficial role public libraries – and librarians – play in their communities.

Babies and their families are invited to share songs, rhymes, bouncing games, finger plays, and short stories at this early literacy event. Following the program, there's time for play with developmentally appropriate toys and socializing for both parents and children. The program is designed for children aged 3-24 months, and occurs on the first and third Friday of each month.

Luna is an ancient redwood that rises 200 feet above the Eel River in southern Humboldt. Stuart Moskowitz, of Sanctuary Forest (a land and water trust), takes care of her. From 1997 to 1999, Julia Butterfly Hill sat atop Luna to prevent the cutting of this 1000 year-old tree and to attract the world's attention to the necessity of protecting and restoring natural resources. Julia came down when Pacific Lumber Company promised to protect Luna with a conservation easement. Stuart will talk about Luna then, how she was attacked less than a year later, and how Luna is today.

PBS Northcoast hosts a preview screening of the new Ken Burns documentary ‘Country Music’.
