Programs & Exhibits Oct

Welcome to the Rancho Mirage Public Library…

With Autumn comes our annual welcome to another great Library programming season.

Please consider this booklet to be your invitation to a wide range of events that will inform,

entertain, and often surprise you.

The Library Community Room will be the location for most of the events described within this

publication. We hope you agree that all of our programs are noteworthy, but a few stand out:

We give attention to the Salton Sea twice during this quarter. First, on Thursday, October 8,

Scott White will offer an update on the Sea and efforts to assure its positive future. Later,

in November, we welcome Kurt Leuschner to present his lecture, “Winged Wonders of

the Salton Sea.”

Christopher Perry, a Library favorite, will present Buster Keaton’s silent classic,

The

General

(1926), as never shown before in our Desert with live music and sound effects,

taking place on Wednesday, November 4.

More film screenings make up our calendar: In celebration of the Centennial of Frank

Sinatra’s birth, film historian and presenter Jason Bruecks offers four of Sinatra’s best

films, on four consecutive Monday afternoons in November.

A full calendar follows. We hope you will join us for all the possibilities of lifelong learning

in our Community Room, where we never stop “celebrating ideas!”
