Call Jane (2022) (R)
In late 1960s Chicago, when abortion was illegal in America, suburban housewife Joy develops a serious heart condition due to her pregnancy. But the medical establishment with an all-male board votes not to terminate her pregnancy, even if it could kill her. Desperate for a solution, she discovers the Jane Collective, a group of feminists who assist women in undergoing abortions the safe way. Things go well until authorities get wind of their activities.

Carol Simon Levin portrays Lillian Moller Gilbreth, motion study pioneer and Cheaper by the Dozen mother of 12 -- then shares the stories of other overlooked women innovators, including many women of color. From Margaret Knight (the 19th century "Female Edison") to Hollywood superstar Hedy Lamarr, these "Mothers of Invention" changed our lives, yet their accomplishments were all too often ignored, discounted or credited to others. Join us for this fascinating and eye-opening presentation.

The Banshees of Inisherin (2002) (R)
Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell star in Martin McDonagh's Academy Award-nominated black comedy about a strained friendship. On a small Erin isle in the early 1920s, folk musician Colm Doherty (Gleeson) decides he is weary of the company of longtime, affable but dull drinking buddy Pádraic Súilleabháin (Farrell)-and tells him so. The hurt Pádraic's insistent efforts to get back in Colm's good graces take a series of bizarrely violent turns that put their tiny community up in arms.
Director: Martin McDonagh

Join the Square of Friends at Eastern Branch to discuss this month's book club selection, The Great Believers, by Rebecca Makkai.
The Great Believers is a dazzling novel of friendship and redemption in the face of tragedy and loss set in the 1980s. The novel alternates between the stories of a group of friends -- most of them gay men diagnosed with AIDS -- in Chicago during the mid-80s to the early 90s, and the story of a woman searching for her estranged daughter in Paris, thirty years later.
Book discussion is led by Librarian Beth Miller. Copies of the book are available at the Eastern Branch Circulation Desk.

New! Writers Workshop -- In Person at the Eastern Branch

Writers are invited (but no pressure!) to share their resulting work and offer gentle suggestions and feedback to their fellow writers. All are welcome!
Molly Fox, MS Ed, is a Reading Specialist, writing instructor, and certified yoga teacher. She has facilitated writing groups at Brookdale Community College and has participated in writing workshops at local libraries and educational events. She is looking forward to being part of a supportive community of writers.

Join the Square of Friends at Eastern Branch to discuss this month's book club selection, A Confederacy of Dunces, by John Kennedy Toole
A Confederacy of Dunces is an American comic masterpiece. John Kennedy Toole's hero, one Ignatius J. Reilly, is "huge, obese, fractious, fastidious, a latter-day Gargantua, a Don Quixote of the French Quarter." His story bursts with wholly original characters, denizens of New Orleans' lower depths, incredibly true-to-life dialogue, and the zaniest series of high and low comic adventures.
Book discussion is led by Librarian Beth Miller. Copies of the book are available at the Eastern Branch Circulation Desk.
