CYRANO
Award-winning director Joe Wright envelops movie lovers in a
symphony of emotions with music, romance, and beauty in Cyrano,
re-imagining the timeless tale of a heartbreaking love triangle. Cyrano
de Bergerac (Peter Dinklage) dazzles with both ferocious wordplay and
brilliant swordplay, but is convinced that his appearance makes him
unworthy of the love of his devoted friend, Roxanne (Haley Bennett), who
has fallen in love at first sight with Christian (Kelvin Harrison Jr.).

landscapes on cards that can be positioned in any sequence. You draw
only landscape, but end up with many. The Victorians called this a

display). We will use our imagination, memory and reference materials to
create an amazing adventure. Create a landscape puzzle with many possible solutions, each of them right.

July
Summer Reading Program for Adults: Through the Mire: A look at the
Environmental History of the Erie Canal with David Brooks of the Schoharie
Crossing State Historic Site.
July 30, 2024 4:00 – 5:30 pm
The Erie Canal was a tremendous undertaking when
construction started in 1817. Humans had been interacting with the geology and
environment of the region for centuries, but when the digging of the canal
commenced, the vastness of the project and the environment that it would cut
through became its largest obstacle. Presentation will discuss that topic and
how people of the era viewed their environment. (Approx. 45-60 minutes with
time for questions)
