The Lure of Mt. Monadnock
Place: Harris Center, Hancock, NH (about 22 miles from Keene)

Here in southwest New Hampshire, Mount Monadnock stands alone as a prominent peak. Its dramatic presence has captivated people for centuries, inspiring an abundance of folklore, art, music, literature, and even our region’s name. The mountain gains affection from outside New Hampshire, too−Monadnock is among the three most-climbed mountains in the world, with over 100,000 hikers each year. Join forest ecologist Dr. Peter Palmiotto and Monadnock State Park Manager Patrick Hummel for a presentation on the natural and human history of Mount Monadnock, including flora, fauna, and, on the human end of things, the history of its use, management, development, and protection. 7 to 8:30 pm, at the Harris Center.

Grab a seat early for the Brooks Memorial Library Allan Stewart Konigsberg's (Woody Allen) Film Festival.
Brooklyn born Konigsberg (Allen) is a film director, actor, comedian, playright, and a jazz clarinetist who plays at small venues all around Manhattan.
Allen is prolific. He has either acted, written, or directed a film in every year since 1965, for a total of 46 films. He has won three Academy Awards and has been nominated 21 times.
The film tonight is SLEEPER, starring Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, John Beck MGM/UA; Directed by Woody Allen Rated PG; 87 minutes; 1973.
Woody Allen plays Miles Monroe, who, after entering the hospital for a minor ulcer operation in 1973, wakes up 200 years in the future, understandably confused. As Woody depicts it, the future is a time in which robots do the work for humans, vegetables grow to enormous proportions, and sex has been replaced by a machine called the "Orgasmitron."
