Come hear from author Douglas Rhoades who discovered a trove of 19th century canned food labels, took them to PBS’s Antiques Roadshow, and turned it all into a book. This program is part of Timberland Reads Together, Timberland Regional Library’s one book-one community reading initiative for 2014.
Every Thursday in October from 2 to 4 p.m., share your love of knitting, or simply come learn knitting basics. Yarn provided for new knitters, but please bring needles.
Join in a discussion of “Eating on the Wild Side” by Jo Robinson. This program is part of Timberland Reads Together, Timberland Regional Library’s one book-one community reading initiative for 2014.
Join in a discussion of “Closer to the Ground: An Outdoor Family’s Year on the Water, in the Woods and at the Table” by Dylan Tomine. This program is part of Timberland Reads Together, Timberland Regional Library’s one book-one community reading initiative for 2014.
The huge hit TV series “Walking Dead” resumed pushing the atrocity envelope this week, with some humans behaving far worse than the zombies. But for a completely different take on the massively popular zombie theme, why not try the 7th Street Theatre’s Halloween movie, the hilarious “Shaun of the Dead.”
Shaun, played by Simon Pegg (who also co-authored the screenplay), finally decides to turn his rather aimless life around, but encounters an unexpected good news/bad news situation. The bad news is that a zombie apocalypse has begun in London. The good news is that it might just offer Shaun the chance to prove himself, provided he can help his friends survive those who have become, as Shaun’s mother says, “a bit bitey.”
The dialogue is often hysterically funny and the film is loaded with pop culture references. It actually created a new genre sub-category, the “rom-zom-com,” or romantic zombie comedy.

Join us in the Elma Timberland Library Meeting Room the last week of October for a Harry Potter Movie Marathon. We will be showing two movies a day ending with the “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2? on Saturday. Wednesday the 29th we will take a short break from the marathon for a special Frakentoys laboratory, where we will “transfigure” stuffed animals to make our own unique creature creations to take home.

Teens! Come to the Library … if you dare. Learn how to create disgusting wounds, be monstrous, then watch a scary movie and eat some pizza. Creatures must be present to vote on which movie to be terrified by. Sponsored by the Friends of the Aberdeen Timberland Library.

Based on a true story, the 1963 has a group of allied escape artist-type prisoners-of-war in an ‘escape proof’ POW camp. Their leader decides to try to take out several hundred all at once. The first half of the film offers laughs as the prisoners mostly outwit their jailers to dig the escape tunnel. The second half is high adventure and suspense as they use boats, trains and planes to flee occupied Europe.
