Pamela Means Presents: Black, Brown, and Beige
Pamela Means presents Black, Brown and Beige, named after a Duke Ellington composition, is a family-friendly public event celebrating the artistry and cultural contributions of Black, Brown and Beige people. Demonstrating that throughout history, Black, Brown and Beige artists have used their voices, their lives, their art, to call out injustice, call in community, inspire compassion, assuage pain, instill joy, spread love, and prove possibilities of a brighter, better, and loving world. Means will also share her trajectory as an artist, making music for peace and unity, committed to authentic self-expression.

Millers Falls Movie Night | The Beastmaster
Enjoy pizza and a movie at the Millers Falls Branch Library! We will be watching The Beastmaster (1982).
Set in a mythic desert realm, this sword-and-sorcery adventure from director Don Coscarelli (Phantasm) follows Dar (Marc Singer), a warrior born with the ability to telepathically communicate with animals. He seeks revenge against the evil priest Maax (Rip Torn), who murdered his family. Raised by villagers unaware of his royal lineage, Dar journeys with a cunning eagle, a loyal black tiger, and a pair of mischievous ferrets to avenge his father’s death and rescue a slave girl (Tanya Roberts). Rated PG.
