Randa Duvick will review The Casual Vacancy by J. K. Rowling. When Barry Fairbrother dies in his early forties, the town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty facade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils...Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity, and unexpected revelations? A big novel about a small town, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling's first novel for adults. It is the work of a storyteller like no other. Westchester Public Library will offer the review on Thursday, June 20 at 2:00 p.m.

The Michigan City Public Library and the City of Michigan City are collaborating again this year to bring family films to the Jaycee Stage in Washington Park. The opening movie, Hotel Transylvania, will be shown Friday, June 21st at dusk (about 8:30 p.m.). Welcome to the Hotel Transylvania, Dracula's lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up, free from meddling from the human world. That world could come crashing down, though, when one ordinary guy stumbles on the hotel and takes a shine to Dracula's daughter, Mavis. Mark your calendar for our other summer series films: Paranorman will be shown Friday, July 26, and Here Comes the Boom will be shown on Friday, August 16.
