Family Place Parent-Child Workshop is a nationally recognized library-led program, where families can meet, chat, share, and play. Toddlers will be able to play with a variety of developmentally appropriate toys in a safe environment with other kids their own age. Caregivers can meet informally with a variety of professionals that can answer any questions. It's not a sit-down lecture--rather, it's an opportunity to chat & learn!

Lisa Dombrowski, Associate Professor of Film Studies at Wesleyan University will give a talk at  the Blackstone Library and will show clips of his most famous films. According to Hitchcock, suspense is developed by providing the audience with information denied the characters.   

Professor Dombrowski holds a PhD in Film Studies from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She is the author of The Films of Samuel Fuller If You Die, I'll Kill You! (2008) and the editor of Kazan Revisited (2010). Her areas of research and teaching include the history of film form and style, the American film industry, independent and art cinema, and East Asian cinema.
