CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT. But, often you can--through an interlibrary-loan request to Brenda Cash and Adisa Heslop at SEK. When I wanted "Of Plymouth Plantation", William Bradford's account of Pilgrims in America, not some else's analysis with footnotes, I got it! That's one topic for tomorrow's monthly Two O'Clock Book Talk. I'm currently reading "The Girl from Greenwich Street", a novel based on America's first murder trial, with a legal team of Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. And my hold on Anne Tyler's new "Three Days in June" finally came in. What are you reading? Please come tell us, 2:00 in the meeting room. -- Colleen Dobbins

BIG STUDIOS, GLAMOROUS STARS and directors such as Alfred Hitchcock epitomized the Golden Age of Hollywood that grew out of the Great Depression and lasted into the 1960s. Come hear the story, with film clips, from Tricia Stogsdill, Allen's instructor of film and theatre, 7:00 May 15 in the meeting room.

YOU CAN GROW FOOD in a bucket, and Casey Diver, K-State Extension, demonstrated how Saturday during the library plant swap. Registered workshop participants took home a free bucket, soil and seeds, thanks to a grant from the American Heart Association. Casey's wealth of information and engaging manner soon attracted an additional audience. He deftly explained how to judge good soil and cautioned against overplanting, as shown in his lettuce garden, pictured lower right. We have handouts for bucket gardens and planting in containers. You can choose your own free seeds from our seed library.

All are welcome, including beginners and lefties.
