Foreign Flicks at the Library
The Quincy Public Library Foreign Film Series has assembled internationally acclaimed films from several different countries. The selections in the 2010 series have been recognized by critics as some of the best cinema the world has to offer, collecting prizes from international film festivals and award competitions such as the Cannes Film Festival, the César Awards, the National Society of Film Critics Awards, and the European Film Awards.
In May, we will be showing THE ITALIAN on Monday, May 10 at 1:00pm and 6:00pm. Despite the title, THE ITALIAN is actually a Russian film set at a bleak orphanage in rural Russia. For most Russian orphans, the chance to be adopted is a dream come true. But six-year-old Vanya Solntsev has other hopes. After discovering that his mother is still alive, the abandoned boy teaches himself to read so as to learn her address from his personal files. Before a wealthy Italian couple can claim him for their own, Vanya sets off on a perilous journey to find his only remaining family. Pursued by orphanage staff and the police, the determined runaway must now face the most difficult challenge of his young life in this incredible story inspired by true events. This film is rated PG-13 for some violence, sexual content, language and thematic issues.

Grow @ Your Library Gardening Series
ardening can be quite expensive, if you buy plants to transplant into your garden or flower containers. Save money this year! Learn successful ways to start plants from their seeds, cook some of your garden bounty, and decorate your garden all at the Quincy Public Library.
On Wednesday, April 28 at 6:00pm, attendees can come and learn how to cook with herbs with Brenda Derrick, Nutrition & Wellness Unit Educator at the Adams/Brown Unit of the Illinois Extension Office. Herbs are a great way to spice up your favorite dishes and enhance the flavor of your foods while cutting back on fat, sugar and salt. Patrons are invited to learn new recipes and sample tasty herb enhanced dishes.
Patrons are also invited to our Growing Vegetables and Herbs workshop. This class is designed for beginners, as well as learned gardeners. You will learn important, practical tips for growing vegetables and herbs; explore companion gardening (using herbs and other plants to deter insects and enhance plant health); then tour the library’s herb garden. The program will be led by Master Gardeners: Barb & Gary Lawrence, Liz Hooton, Deborah Lee and others.
Learn the art of creative garden design for small spaces at our Grow @ Your Library: Adding Pizzazz to a Small Garden Space, Patio or Balcony program! Slides will be shown of unique garden design ideas, and creative containers and arrangements will be on display. Participants will have a chance to make and take a creative container-garden home. The program will be led by a team of Master Gardeners including Marsha Cray, Patty Vogel, and Jeanette Begeman.
These programs are free and open to the public, but due to space considerations, reservations are requested. Please call 223-1309, ext. 207 or go online at http://www.quincylibrary.org/ to make your reservation.
