6:00 p.m. Arcata Library, Movie, Mary Queen of Scots (R)2019-05-02T18:00:00First-time director Josie Rourke presents a fresh view of the northern queen by embracing her ambitions and attributing her downfall to devious men spreading lies. Mary (Saoirse Ronan) stands as a bold leader and devout Catholic, bound by duty and compromised by gender. Her power is thwarted by the men around her until she is forced to abdicate. Scriptwriter Beau Willimon takes advantage of each historical intrigue and backroom deal to give Mary’s story a slight modern feminist touch.

1:00 p.m. Eureka Library, Historical Lecture, Blue Ox Historic Village2019-05-04T13:00:00If you have visited Blue Ox Historic Village, then you know it is like entering a vibrant working museum, where Victorian-era trades, including blacksmithing, ceramics, printing, and woodworking are all practiced using historical tools. For example, there is the 1905 Orton single-sided planer, the 1902 four-sided molder, and the 1886 treadle-powered scroll saw. At Blue Ox, every piece of wood is honored. 'Blue Ox is a company started by two kids with no business experience and a $300 bank loan, that is still growing and expanding 46 years later,' says Eric Hollenbeck. From its 1973 beginnings in a formerly condemned building on Humboldt Bay, Eric and Viviana Hollenbeck have built not only an environmentally-conscious business, but a way of life. Join them as they talk freely about their 'Path Less Traveled' and where it is taking them now.

Stars the voices of Channing Tatum, Zendaya, Common, and James Corden.

Jemisin is the first author in Sci-Fi history to win three Best Novel Hugo Awards in a row, all for her Broken Earth trilogy, making her a 'pillar of speculative fiction, breathtakingly imaginative and narratively bold.' (Entertainment Weekly). Jemisin explains, 'Look, I like to write. In particular I like to write about ordinary people -- all kinds of ordinary people -- in extraordinary situations, preferably in non-Earth worlds which nevertheless reflect our own. I'm trying to write decolonized fiction, for our postcolonial world. And at the end of the day, I just want to tell a good story.'
