News from the Art Circle Public Library for May 21, 2013 This week’s concert from D-Squared Productions presents: Terry Henderson Sings the Golden Oldies on Wednesday, May 22nd at 12:00 noon in the library’s Cumberland Meeting Room. If you would like, pack yourself a lunch from home to enjoy during the performance! Sally Field, Danny Glover , and John Malkovich star in a touching film to be shown on Tuesday, May 28th at 10:00 a.m. "Places in the Heart" is a story of circles broken, families shattered, hatred and racism unleashed. After the senseless death of her husband, Edna Spaulding is left to do for herself, and for her family. Her task is clear--to do whatever she can to mend the breach in her family, to keep herself and her children together, and to build a new communion. At 1:00 p.m. that same day, the 2012 film, “Hyde Park on Hudson” will be shown for ages 17 and up. Academy Award nominees Bill Murray, who shines as FDR, and Laura Linney, star in this engaging and romantic look at one of the most pivotal meetings in history: the first-ever visit of a reigning British monarch to America. This is a charming and fresh look at true events and the mysteries of love and friendship, from the acclaimed director of “Notting Hill”. All films are shown free of charge and are held in the Cumberland Meeting Room. Calling kids and their parents! Be sure not to miss the film showing of “Rise of the Guardians” from Dreamworks, on Thursday, May 23rd at 1:00 p.m. in the library’s Meeting Room. This is an epic adventure of a group of heroes with extraordinary abilities. When an evil spirit, Pitch, tries to take over the world, the immortal Guardians must join forces to protect the hopes, beliefs and the imagination of children all over. The message at the heart of this wonderfully imaginative and visually spectacular film is to have faith in the good things and that this faith or belief will eventually eliminate despair and darkness from one's heart. This is a great family-friendly animated film that will appeal to audiences of all ages. Registration for Summer Reading Programs – one for kids and one for teens – are taking place now!

Did you know that the darker a bean's coat, the higher its antioxidant activity? Beans are so good for you; they straddle two slots on the food pyramid. "They have enough protein to be a meat, and the vitamins and fiber of a veggie," says Christine Gerbstadt, M.D., spokeswoman in Sarasota, Florida, for the American Dietetic Association (ADA). One cup packs half of your daily folate, blood pressure, regulating magnesium and energizing iron. You’ll be happy to learn that canned beans are as healthy as dried beans and they don't need soaking. Look for no salt added or rinse them to limit sodium. Quackers Joke of the Week Q. Why did the clock in the school cafeteria always run slowly? A. Every lunch it went back four seconds!
