Context
When I was in my early 20s, I had the opportunity to pal around with a 76-year-old. He was a retired steamfitter who started in the profession as a teen.

Barrington Library will host a flu clinic on Thursday, November 6th from 930 to Noon, upstairs in the gallery room. Most people with health coverage can expect to get the shot for free, but there are some exceptions. You must have your insurance card with you. There is a charge for people without health insurance. You must be 19 years or older to get these flu shots. Although we will not do pre-registration this year, you can get the registration form early at the library registration desk.

Discovery
We’ve got another of Barrington Library’s very popular Film Lecture Series running through the month of October, this time featuring Screwball Comedies. Doug Swiszcz, who loves to apply his library skills to movies, will be showing five films—three Screwball Comedy classics, one modern revival of the form, and one seldom seen but nonetheless worthy Screwball film.

Chistopher Andreozzi Memorial Tournament Trophy on Display
The Chistopher Andreozzi Memorial Tournament Trophy was won in 2008 by the Barrington 7 and 8 year old Little Leaguers. It is currently on display in the glass case on the second floor of the library.
I just read The Secret Scripture and loved it. A very powerful and moving book that stays with you. Apparently other people, including the judges for Britain’s prestigious Booker Prize think so too. The Secret Scripture was among 6 books recently nominated for the Booker Prize. Read more in the following link:
