This month we watch Mid-August Lunch
2008, 1 hour 15 minutes.
An utterly charming tale of good food, feisty ladies and unlikely friendships during a very Roman holiday. Broke, and armed with only a glass of wine and a wry sense of humor, middle-aged Gianni resides with his 93-year-old mother in their ancient apartment.
The condo debts are mounting, but if Gianni looks after the building manager’s mother, all will be forgiven. Then the manager also shows up with an auntie, and then a doctor friend appears with his mother in tow… Can Gianni keep these lively mamas well fed and happy in these cramped quarters?

This month we watch the Bookshop
2017, 1 hour 52 minutes.
England, 1959. Free-spirited widow Florence Green (Emily Mortimer) risks everything to open a bookshop in a conservative East Anglian coastal town. While bringing about a surprising cultural awakening through works by Ray Bradbury and Vladimir Nabokov, she earns the polite but ruthless opposition of a local grand dame (Patricia Clarkson) and the support and affection of a reclusive book loving widower (Bill Nighy). As Florence’s obstacles amass and bear suspicious signs of a local power struggle, she is forced to ask: is there a place for a bookshop in a town that may not want one?

Building Bridges with Rwanda, in collaboration with the Pacific Canada Heritage Centre Society / Museum of Migration and the New Westminster Public Library, is hosting a Black History Month event. We will screen a film produced by Baraza Collective, Douglas College and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health at the University of Toronto, and featuring the voices of African youth living in New Westminster about homelessness, climate change, poverty, racism, and hopes for the future.
There will be live music and a moderated conversation with the audience.
Confused about climate change and solutions? Feeling left out of climate conversations? Want to talk about what climate change means for New Westminster? Or how to plan your life or raise your kids in an uncertain future? This is the session for you! Led by Programming Librarian, Caitlin MacRae and Karen Crosby, organizer and leader of the New Westminster Climate Action Hub, this climate café is a space to ask questions, talk about your concerns, possible actions you may take, get connected to community groups or information, and help you feel less alone with this issue. In a relaxed atmosphere we will talk about how we get through our days, what brings glimmers of hope or joy, and how we can come together to help our whole community.
