		Contact: Nanci Milone Hill 978-454-5474, x 301 nhill@mvlc.org
		THIS EVENT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED TO SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26TH AT 1:00 PM, DUE TO THE CONFLICTS IN THE AUTHORS' SCHEDULES. ALL PATRONS WHO WERE REGSITERED BY 5/1/13 AT 12:00 PM HAVE BEEN REGISTERED FOR THE 10/26 EVENT. WE ARE SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. Raised in a South Boston housing project, James "Whitey" Bulger became the most wanted fugitive of his generation. In their riveting book, award-winning Boston Globe reporters Kevin Cullen and Shelley Murphy follow Whitey’s extraordinary criminal career—from teenage thievery to bank robberies to the building of his underworld empire and a string of brutal murders. Join them for an evening of intrigue. Kevin Cullen, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who has written for the Boston Globe since 1985, was the first to raise questions about Whitey Bulger's relationship with the FBI. A frequent commentator on NPR and the BBC, Cullen has won major journalism prizes including the Goldsmith Prize, the George Polk Award, and the Selden Ring Award. Shelley Murphy has covered Whitey Bulger and organized crime in Boston since 1985, beginning at the Boston Herald and moving to the Globe in 1993. She has won a George Polk Award for National Reporting.

		"When Brunonia Barry’s The Lace Reader raced to the top of the New York Times bestseller’s list in 2008, book clubs across the country got to see there’s more to Salem than witches. Two years later, Barry’did it again with her highly anticipated second novel, The Map of True Places." (North Shore Art Throb Magazine 4/27/10) Of her second novel, Bookpage said "Gripping and emotionally taut, this is a novel brimming with both the messy and the lovely parts of life. A provocative examination of family, aging, and finding your true place in the world, *The Map of True Places* is sure to smoothly sail up the bestseller list.” Join Ms. Barry for a lively discussion of her first two novels and a preview of her third. Following the discussion, she will be available to sign books. Sponsored by the Friends of the Dracut Library.

After five days of reading, a prize is awarded. Up to 10 prizes may be earned. This program is for children age 2 – those entering grade 5. Pre-readers may count books read TO them. June 27 and 28, you may register from 9:30 AM to 4 PM. Our high school volunteers will be here during July and August to hand out prizes at the following times.

		Bring a stuffed animal to the library tonight for some songs and stories. At the end of the program, we'll tuck the animals into bed for a restful night's sleep. Come back in the morning to pick up your animal and have brunch with Miss Penny. Your animal will have a surprise for you! For ages 2 and up. Registration will open one week before the event. Parents, please make sure children don't bring the most special animal that they can't live without. We don't want to create trauma - this should be fun. When the children come to the brunch tomorrow, they will get a picture showing their animal having fun in some part of the library during the night. The premise is that the stuffed animals roam the library after hours having fun, though we don't let the children know until the next morning.

		This is a program for children on the autism spectrum or those who have other special needs. If your child is not so comfortable with our other storytimes because of the activity level, noise, and pace, then this just might be what you are looking for. Our calmer program will include books, activities, singing, puppets, bubbles and more. We'll have a schedule board so the children will know what to expect. There will be many visual supports, chances for interaction and lots of repetition. The names of the stories to be used will be listed in advance in case you want to read them at home first. All family members are also welcome to attend. Registration will open one week before the event.

		Contact: Nanci Milone Hill 978-454-5474 nhill@mvlc.org
		Dracut's diverse landscape, ranging from pastoral fields to vestiges of former textile mills, alludes to a history just as diverse, which can be traced back to 1665. The town was the first permanent Massachusetts settlement north of the Merrimack River; however, Dracut Revisited explores more closely the town's recent 20th-century history. Throughout the years, Dracut citizens have been industry employees at places such as Beaver Brook Mills and the Dracut Navy Yard. The town had the region's premier resort at Lake Mascuppic, the Lakeview Ballroom. It has also been home to numerous dairy farms, including Shaw Farm, which celebrated its centennial anniversary in 2008 and is one of a handful of active dairy farms that remain in the state. Dracut has a long record of serving in the nation's conflicts, from the American Revolution to September 11, 2001. Dracut has made great sacrifices and has been proud to honor the sacrifices of its citizens. Dracut Junior High School history teacher, Rebecca Duda, is the author of the forthcoming book , “Dracut Revisited,” part of Arcadia Publishing’s “Images of America” series. it is scheduled to be released on July 16th. All proceeds from the sale will be donated to the Dracut Scholarship Foundation.

	1:00 PM - 3:00 PM	Lizzy Borden and the Forty Whacks
		Contact: Nanci Milone Hill 978-454-5474 nhill@mvlc.org
		On a scorching hot day in Fall River, back in August of 1892, a heinous crime occurred. Spinster Lizzie Borden was accused, tried, and acquitted for the vicious axe murders of her father and stepmother. This true unsolved mystery has fascinated people for over 100 years. Two people died on that day in 1892, but Lizzie continues to live on in American folklore. This performance by the Delvina Theater Company includes a mock trial that invites the audience to participate by questioning Lizzie, and voting on her guilt or innocence. This “edutainment” production features Lynne Moulton and Joseph Zamparelli in multiple roles depicting Lizzie’s story and educating the audience members so that they may be informed “jurists”. Did she or didn’t she? You be the judge. The cast opens up to the audience for discussion after the performance. This program is sponsored by the Friends of Dracut Library.
